You were born into a noble household, firmly placed in the elite of the material world. You grew up surrounded by wealth and comfort, far from the toil of the common peoples. Whether from the result of a coup, scandal or other disastrous event, you have lost many or all of these benefits. Your family, or perhaps only yourself, must live with the consequences of this fall.

Your noble upbringing has taught you much about the life of the nobility, and your fall has done little to damage your noble bearing. Most people are surprised by your ability to blend into the guests of a royal ball, or smooth talk your way out of a tight spot. Most other nobles won't be able to tell you aren't one of their own, and your previous position enables you to gain access to resources and places befitting someone of your previous life, so long as your fall is unknown to them.
