That was an excellent question, and one that clearly illuminated one of the many differences between Ferelden and Antiva. Having always been so immersed in Ferelden it hadn't occurred to her that Franziska might not have the same grasp on the details. [color=#17b529]"Not necessarily. It's determined by who is in charge of land holdings. That is mostly determined by bloodline, so it's entirely possible that there are others with more wealth, but less likely."[/color] It was entirely possible to be land-poor, especially with as much as Ferelden had been through in recent memory.
Teynirs and Banns... maybe this would be better explain with a map. There ought to be one around... [color=#17b529]"They refer to the rank and hierarchy of the holdings, and thus of the families in charge of them. Ah, here we go, this should help."[/color]
She located a map and found a place to spread it out. From there she was able to explain the overall hierarchy: The royal family at the top, followed by the Teyrns, then Arls, and on down to the Banns of the Bannorn and point out the general borders of each.
[color=#17b529]"What else can I help with?"[/color] she asked the future queen.
TLDR:

TLDR:
- Explains it's not wealth but land and bloodline that matters more
- Explains the hierarchy of titles and holdings, pointing them out on a map
- Asks about other questions
