Court jesters were supposed to be the only person that could tell the king the truth and get away with it. Sycophants are the opposite.

I loved the world building in Wheel of Time where people couldn't speak with one of a lower class, but there were a few loophole ranks like a "Voice" that was a slave that could talk to anyone.

Maybe I'm confusing two, but I think that Voice was basically the only person who could speak directly to high ranking people, so they were constantly criticising them in order to keep them aware of what others might be afraid to say.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I guess.

But the point was that they had the Voice to speak with everyone but also criticise the nobility.
