Manorial Worker
Imperial Serfs are born or apply to work in a higher status location, possibly even roofing on site. Contrary to human serfs, they are not necessarily on a lower level. Lowest civilian life arguably dwells between potentials of military conscription, and serving to guilds of mining and factory work. Imperial serfs (or manorial workers) however, are usually better off, especially if born into their region of work.
These are the common reketta that work within a noble house, or around such property, and do the more menial tasks, or assign under other specific duties. Dishes, bed fixes, polishing or small renovating work, farming, etc. Some that are born into a house are raised to do these works, alongside a strong quality talent, but may be decided to remain more plain. Others may join in from the outside, and get relegated minor property rights in addition to an income and small protections.
Career
Career Progression
Progression tends to occur in two different ways. Either the Reketta is tutored and learning a secondary career they'll ascend into as a more lifelong duty to the aristocracy, or they are slowly saving up their own money for a more self-sustained career with holding some property such as their own embroidery, fishing, apothecary, etc.
Payment & Reimbursement
Direct paid value in Serio varies widely, however its estimated that in some capacity a rekettan serf is worth approximately 8 Serion per week - Even if it doesn't directly show up that way, with some getting more but paying for their own food more often.
Other Benefits
- Minor property rights
- Income
- Some amenities are provided, or even kept from their own work, such as eating some of the crops they help gather.
- Taxation is significantly less compared to full property owners
Perception
Social Status
Lower, but not disrespected in most cases. The lowest end of this job were of outsiders applying, and getting a sense of disparity with those raised as kin to those that have foundations within the noble property line. However there is rarely a stronger focus of disdain, or issues. They're more of a being simply 'there', and working as a job.
