Orphans

So much of the Layoran way of life is about the ancestors, and family, that being an orphan is a curse. Ignored by society, except for the occassional scrap from a sympathetic soul. Orphans often find life is short unless they can find a way to secure food and shelter. Often this takes the form of indentured servatude, slightly above full thralldom, depending on one's parentage. Occassionally, women who have recently lost a infant child will adopt an orphan to fill the void in their heart, but it is a rare occurrence.
