A commoner is a commoner and not a noble. RPing that they are a noble seems like it should be against the rules.
But what you came here asking about was your noble being declared and treated as a commoner.
Furthermore, while I only know bits and pieces of Stheno's story (primarily the end of it), from what I understand, she wasn't really treated as a noble. She was simply treated as Rania's daughter. An acknowledged bastard doesn't necessarily become noble automatically. (Some may have, in some systems of nobility, but it wasn't at all a universal trait of aristocracies.) And I don't care what Tom's guidelines say: the idea that absolutely every commoner
must be treated like less than an animal by absolutely every noble is utterly ludicrous. Treating another human being with a modicum of respect and dignity does not have to mean recognizing them as your social equal.
So please calm yourself, and open yourself to alternative interpretations to the ones that paint people as rotten, and you will probably have a more fun time in BattleMaster. And in life.
