3. Desher’s Assembly: made up of all the heads of the oldest standing houses, of which there are dozens
4. Thane: Noble who’s title was granted by the king, owns land
5. Desher: Dwarf of noble blood who belongs to one of the seven original Houses
6. Shaper: Keepers of all Dwarven knowledge and history, crucial role in court cases
7. Warrior caste: Made up of Second Sons from noble houses and mostly of family’s that serve the army
8. Smith Caste: upper middle class, held in high esteem for their contribution to the kingdom as armorers and weapon-smiths
9. Artisan Caste: any skilled worker other than Smith
