In the legal terminology of [[Westarctica]], a '''disgraced noble''' is a member of the [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]] (only) who has fallen out of favor with the reigning Grand Duke as a result of some intentional action on the noble's part. Although it is not a desirable condition to find oneself in, the government of Westarctica considers it a "slap on the wrist" that will encourage a noble to try harder to embody the ideals of the nobility and somehow make amends for his/ her actions. | In the legal terminology of [[Westarctica]], a '''disgraced noble''' is a member of the [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]] (only) who has fallen out of favor with the reigning [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] as a result of some intentional action on the noble's part.
