On Cormyrean nobility's view on acts of infidelity

Hi @Ed Greenwood, I hope you’re well.
Among Cormyrean nobility, how are mistresses and acts of infidelity (concubine festhalls(brothels) multiple wives and such) generally viewed and treated both socially and legally?
And how are illegitimate children viewed and treated among nobles?

This has been covered many times before. Most nobles don’t give a fig about mistresses and acts of infidelity, so long as such behaviour isn’t flaunted as public disrespect (e.g. a husband belittling a wife). Illegitimate offspring are unable to inherit or bear family titles (unless they become “the last of the blood standing”), and are embraced, tolerated, or shunned largely on the basis of their personal behaviour and character. A lot of nobles adopt “shocked and appalled” stances about “immoral” conduct, but such reactions are almost always social posturing to gain status and disparage others, not what they genuinely care about. |
