The wealthy and powerful where I come from often shelter themselves from the outside world, often because they claim to be better - but mostly because they don't want to have to deal with it. And nobles in my experience tend to be more sickly and 'delicate'. [Her tone is disparaging. She's met a few nobles worthy of her respect in time, but most of them are all talk.]

They seek to use their influence to control a world that they do not understand.
