I think that keeping things in the Tower or the city should be enough for the purposes. It's suppose to center on the Tower and the intrigues, afterall.<br/><br/>And, you do not have to be a warder to be bonded. As someone may not of read the series completely yet, I don't want to give anything away, but there is someone bonded with no experience in swords at all by A Memory of Light and I wouldn't want to get on his bad-side.... Then, there's our blonde haired girl with the bow... So, being a warder isn't required.
