Peasants are the bread and butter of every kingdom, but that does not mean they know what’s best for them. The peasants in My Majesty are no better, and their requests show just that.
Your commoners are going to come to you with a huge range of requests, some of which are reasonable and some just don’t make any sense to any civilized person, whether today or in medieval times. You see commoners get upset about the most benign of requests from other factions, too. There’s just nothing to be done about it.
This is just one of six guides covering each faction in My Majesty. If you want what questions and answers I’ve logged for the other factions, check out these links:

How to use this guide
The requests below are by no means the full amount the commoners throw at you in in My Majesty, but are simply those I’ve gotten while I’ve started logging them. Expect frequent updates to both the current logged answers and more requests/questions.
Most of the questions here are listed with incomplete results, meaning they only have the results for one answer. This will be more fleshed out as I keep playing, but for now this is the starting point.
Any typos and grammatical errors seen here are the same as they are in the game. This is to keep things uniform and make finding the question you’re looking for easier.
Important words in a question are highlighted so you can scroll through and find what you need easily.
