People believe Crests are blessings from the Goddess, that they are necessary to maintain order in Fódlan. But the people are wrong. Crests are to blame for this brutal, irrational world we live in.
If Crests are a metaphor for Divine Right, or better yet Capitalism, I'm fucking sold. Give me anime girl Robespierre.
crests are basically exclusive to nobility, they're mostly (though not exclusively) hereditary, and having them determines inheritance laws in many cases. like half the cast has trauma directly related to them, for reasons i'm sure you can figure out. she also wants to abolish the nobility iirc
