Editing Smallfolk (section)

==About==
Most smallfolk are poor, illiterate people living provincial, humble, and simple lives. Most do not have surnames. They use roads which are crooked muddy tracks that do not appear on parchment maps.{{Ref|AFFC|25}} Instead of castle-forged steel or lances,{{Ref|ACOK|2}} they are more likely to use [[w:Stick fighting|staffs]] as weapons.{{Ref|AFFC|28}} In Westeros, they often name their daughters after [[Plants|flowers and herbs]], like [[Violet]] or [[Tansy]],{{Ref|ASOS|2}} and peasant girls are more likely to bleed from losing their [[maidenhead]] on wedding nights, as it is uncommon for them to ride horses.{{Ref|AFFC|28}} They are far removed from the major players of the game of thrones, but are affected by those decisions, good or bad. [[Bastards]] with a lowborn parent can be called baseborn.{{Ref|ACOK|24}}{{Ref|ASOS|33}}{{Ref|ADWD|37}}{{Ref|TSS}}

In Westeros the smallfolk often dress in raw wool and dull brown roughspun, while nobles wear colored velvets, silks, and samites.{{Ref|AFFC|26}} The opposite is true in [[Braavos]], where nobles dress in dark hues while [[bravo]]s are brightly colored.{{Ref|AFFC|26}} The people of Lys, both noble and smallfolk, resemble the [[Valyrian Freehold|Valyrians]] of old.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}
