The Lagado upper class have no real idea about how the world works. They know about stuff in theory, but they have no idea how it functions in practice. All of their ideas have weight in the real world they only work in their head. They try to make clothes that according to mathematics will be the best cloth in all the land but a blind old tailor that has been retired for 40 years can do a better job. They lack real world experience so all of their ideas are foolish and will never work. They are really trying to help people and a lot of people go along with them not knowing how bad their ideas are.


Alot of harm can come from a good place. and the Lagado are a great example of this. They whole heartedly want to help but all of their ideas end up doing more harm than good.
