Estates on the server: how to rise from serf
Your rank in society decides what is allowed to you and how people speak to you. Let’s look at how the ladder of estates works.
World and historyNovember 10, 2026
In early 15th-century Bohemia a person was above all a member of their estate. It decided where they lived, whom they served and whose court had power over them. On the Kingdom Come RP server, the estates work in a similar way.
Where everyone starts
Every new character is a lord’s serf. He lives on the lord’s land, and the lord gives him protection. This is the starting rank for everyone, without exception, and there is no “elite” start to buy.
Free and serf peasants
Peasants come in two kinds. A free peasant looks for work and sells the harvest himself. A serf is bound to the lord: he works the lord’s land and in return receives a holding and the manor’s protection. Each option has its advantages — freedom or support.
Four paths up
- Townsfolk — trade, shops, town life.
- Clergy — service in the church, confession, settling disputes.
- Craft — the path from apprentice to master, with your own mark.
- Chivalry — service to the lord, armour and sword.
How to rise
A rank cannot be bought. You can rise in three ways: by service, by craft or by the lord’s favour. Titles, land, a place in a guild and a court decision are given only by players and your own story — the Shop does not sell them.
What a rank gives
The higher the rank, the more is allowed to you and the more your word weighs. But the demands are stricter too: a knight is expected to be honourable, a master to produce quality, a priest to be just.
