"A big part of it is to assign certain jobs. Certain blood types have a prediliction towards certain abilities. There is also the issue of longevity, I suppose. There is quite a sharp incline in life expectancy once you get to the teal and cerulean blooded. Those above can outlive multiple generations of the lower blood, so there is some sense in giving jobs that require intensive studying."
If a maroon blood were to, say, wish to be a legislacerator after their studying and training was completed they would only have so many years to actually work in the field before their time was up. It did make sense, but it was the lack of choice that bothered her.
"Those among the bottom three," she indicated them on the chart, filling each box with their respective color, "ended up as slaves."
She wrote 'olive' in the box above the lime bloods "This where I am. Merchants. Above me is an interesting one--the jade bloods. While they are more of a middle caste they hold a special place in our society because they are the care takers of the Mother Grub. They tend to her, the eggs, and for wrigglers up until they take their trials. They are almost exclusively female, much in the way the tyrians are."
