Beorgrad System

A unique method of distinguishing approximate social classes within Jïumannian firekeeping circles, based upon the color and prominence of metallic flecks in one’s eyes. The origins of the system are relatively simple, as the flecks tend to scatter sparks.
The highest class is gulwen, assigned to rulers and high nobility with shining golden flecks in their irises. Golden flecks are always found in royal eyes, while also appearing in noble eyes with less frequency.
The next highest class is selnir, reserved for lower nobility and renowned commoners with silver flecks in their irises. If there are no golden flecks in the noble eye colors, they will have silver flecks.
Finally, having no flecks is thought to represent no firekeeping talent, and is reserved for commoners. Of the common eye colors, a rare few are capable of displaying flecks, although the flecks aren’t highly visible unless shined upon or actively fluorescing.
