Culture
While not technically slaves, because by law they are not property of their masters, in practice this is quite the opposite. The skaa are the beaten down, oppressed working class, and because of this many are timid in regards to the nobles. Skaa generally keep to themselves, and in the cities, a large number turn to a life of crime to sustain themselves.
Those who are not criminals are worked to near death in some situations by their masters.
Skaa maintain a fear of the evening mists due to folk lore and misinformation spread by the nobles.
