Yeah, we had this debate a while back. There is a section that's for "distinguished Gridanians," but that doesn't mean there are nobles. Given the way the city-state is governed, there simply isn't any room for nobility in the system, as far as I can tell. And those "distinguished Gridanians" may simply comprise the Hyur families noted for producing Padjal (such as the Cant and Senna families). While they may have some social distinction due to the honor of producing Padjal, it doesn't follow that they would have the same political power that an actual Noble would have.

There's a difference between wealthy individuals or those with a higher social-stature and actual nobles. Nobles have very real political power, and generally speaking, Nobility is not something you can work your way into. You are either born to it, or marry into it.

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
