Hey Chants of Sennaar fans! It took an incredible amount of time, but at long last, I finally found out what I was looking for.

So. Have you ever wondered what, exactly, differentiates a Serf from a Bard?

obviously we can't determine the intelligences of the two and we don't know their history beyond what we've been shown, but just looking at the game, we can see it's not race, as they're all varied, not language, as they're on the same floor and speak the same thing, not gender, as while that's kinda hard to tell in this game one of the serfs we CAN speak to has a low timbre and several bards have a similar masculine cadence so it's not that either.

I have been searching for this entire time for some kind of explanation. ANY kind of indicator. And today, thinking about it on a whim, I finally found it.

Guys.

The serf holds the clipboard in their right. The bard holds the palette in their left. Both of them are holding writing utensils, but they're doing it in opposite ways.

Serfs are left handed.

i really hope everyone knows about what post I'm talking about and that this is not my original idea

part of you
