1. Speech
Cassian speech patterns stratify drastically between highborn and lowborn. The highborn tend to speak with a touch of formality and a continental flair, favoring long forms to contractions. They respect the social hierarchy and have a tendency to condescend to those they perceive as beneath their station.
Lowborn Cassian speech, on the other hand, has more in common with a working class British or cockney accent. They're usually direct and to the point, and any embellishments typically take the form of a quick curse or colloquialism.
2. Common exclamations
Cassians often swear by religious terms, "By the Scions!" Also, loss of light or sight, "Shadows and darkness!" "Blind me!"
Lowborn Cassians are similar to highborn, but earthier/more vulgar. "By the gods!" "Scions take me!" "Bloody hell!" "Bollocks!"
