Danke Dir. This brings up another thing - what degree of historical accuracy, modulo the existence of magic, non-human intelligent life, and divine intervention, am I working off here? As in, does the world feel like the historical middle ages? Or, on the other extreme, does it feel like the idealized franko-german rennaissance of fantasy JRPGs? Or somewhere in between, the way most fantasy RPG settings seem to fall?<br/><br/>And because I realize that is hard to answer, the background to my question is that I am trying to figure out how the character I am building learned what she knows. Her skillset, on a whole, strikes me as being consistent with an embarrassing accident had by minor nobility, and sent to boarding school and later some sort of musical academy to get them out of sight and hopefully out of mind. From her perspective, more like "here's a stipend to get you trained in something that will feed you. Good luck out there." So I guess I am primarily interested in how the feudal system plays out in this world, whether there is any sort of formal education system, and if so, how it works.
