Though perhaps not of noble birth, you run in noble circles, giving you access to all of the latest gossip. Nobles are willing to share their dirty little secrets more freely with you, knowing that you are, in fact, a dirty little secret yourself. If you spend an hour or more in conversation with members of the nobility you learn all of the latest gossip, including which noble houses are making power plays against the others, which are involved in criminal activity, and who fancies who. While the information is often useful and almost always titillating, its accuracy is never guaranteed. It is just gossip, after all.
