SC - Restaurant in Philly

[Barbara Sall]

I was always told that everyone in the SCA, titled or not, was assumed to be 
noble unless they show themselves otherwise by churlish behavior. Something 
along those same lines was once written in the Knowne World Handbook also, 
but may well have been dropped.

I always assume the untitled gentles to be like the fifth son of a titled 
noble or something myself. Certainly I've known gentles to intentionally pick 
peasant personas, but frankly, many of those have been the most noble acting 
IMO.
Of course, they could have saved up a pound of pepper and bought their 
freedom < Food content :-)
