These are usually the younger children of nobles or the well to do who already have enough heirs and have already pulled enough strings to get other older siblings cushy jobs. The younger ones are trained in their profesion and either groups with other noble children in similar situations or with lower classes who show promise and are trained in their classes. The training, equipment and adventuring companions are seen as providing for the child to make their way in the world. Thus, most 1st level adventuring parties have been raised together through childhood for the purpose of being a 1st level adventuring party.For the most part, such parties or individuals seeking employment will not chekc the taverns but rather the seasonal tournsments. At such torunaments, which are usually in conjunction with fairs, are occations for nobles or even countries to test their martial skills against eachother. In the more peacable regions, it may be the only real warfare some nobles can expect to see. Such events, including a grand melee, are rarely balanced and every noble that can is trying to fill out his forces as much as possible. For somebody of an adventuring class, they could actually survive from fair to fair, travelling the country selling their services a week at a time. Meanwhile many nobles are also traveling from trounie to tournie and will keep such mercenaries with them between events, expecially if traveling through rough lands where extra people may be of even more use. Many such mercenaries even have set schedules of who they are to work for each season and they make the rounds. It is also here that people who are looking for adventurers go to find them. Not only are they all gathered there, but there are plenty of tournaments so they can watch and get an idea of their skills.Of course, although taverns may be cliche, they're still a reasonable place to meet mercenaries. In between jobs, they have to stay someplace and rental properties are rare. So they stay at inns that almost always have taverns because such people need food as well as lodging and spend most of the off season drinking.</blockquote>
