Citizen-Artisans are full citizens who cannot trace their ancestry back to
King Alric. They are afforded the protections of a Corsair-Lord
and may vote in the Assembly, but they may not own weapons or become marines of
the Armada, and their women cannot be elected to the highest offices. Most
Citizen-Artisans take up trades or work in the dockyards, while many others are
merchants and scribes. Citizen-Artisans often become midshipmen and skilled
sailors aboard Armada vessels, and many are shipmasters, though they cannot be
Lord-Captains.
