I like to casually poke around and look at the new character sheets that pop up, and thought I'd throw out my two cents; apologies ahead of time if I speak out of turn, or trample on toes, it's certainly not my intention.<br/><br/>With swordmaster's character, I just don't think his history would work? Aserit strikes me as a meritocracy, where people were knighted based solely on their combat prowess and scholastic knowledge, rather than needing some sort of royal blood or backing.  Look at the Bloody Raven's; they're the elite force, but more than half of their total numbers come from a peasant background.
