[Paradise] - Hemoloyalty: Then and Now

[History of Hemoloyalty]
Following the Hemospectrum, with Rusts at the bottom and Tyrians at the top, is considered the Societal Norm and has been for as long as Recorded Trollian History. For millions of years pre-dating Modern Times, Lowbloods were often enslaved by the Higher Castes, but such treatment since the Trollian Truce Treaties has been made Illegal.

Highblood Hemoloyalists abide by their Caste Privileges and will often abuse their Social Standings to avoid prosecution from the Law, something already much different for them than the lower Castes as a whole. Violence, the Murdering of Lowbloods, and general Aggression are considered ‘typical’ of Highbloods and are rarely prosecuted against, unless in the cases of a Lowblood Quadrantmate to a Highblood being senselessly murdered.

Lowblood Hemoloyalists typically find themselves either in submissive acceptance of the standards set by Her Imperious Condescension and see that resistance is futile, or they find great Honor and Privilege in serving the Throne to the best of their abilities. The latter is far less common than the former, but Hemoloyalty seems to be the safest route for a Lowblood to take unless in a specific Hemorebellious Community with which to protect themselves.

[Modern Hemoloyalty]
Ever since the secession of the Trollian War 40 years to Present Day, and due largely in part to The Signless Sectoral, Hemoloyalty has been waning in a big way.

Hemoloyalty is still considered the ‘Final Stance’ on Legal Hemoactivity, with active and loud Hemorebels being punished for speaking out against the Empress, but an air of Apathy has settled over the once clear-cut margins of ‘Acceptable Behaviour’ and ‘Illegal Activity’.

The Hemospectrum on Paradise, in particular, has adapted a kind of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ mentality in many social circles, where active Hemorebellious misdemeanors are left unreported or uncared about. While there are still Hemoloyal Zealots who will actively report every Hemorebellious Slight at a moment’s notice, who may senseless murder Lowbloods for no other reason that ‘They Can’, those individuals are considered to be ‘Socially Dangerous’ and often left out or ousted from communities where Modern Hemoloyalist Values are being upheld.

The inclusion of Humankind into Trollian Society has been much to blame over the decline in Strict Hemoloyalty, as Human relations put them largely on the ‘Untouchable’ scale for killability while Hemoloyalists would place them as ‘Lowestbloods’ on the Hemospectrum, which creates a horrible paradox of ‘invaluable and worthless’.
