[QUOTE="Douane, post: 1451386, member: 157"] Well, my idea was the following: The cornerstone of the Confederation's defense and its Elite are the "Warrior Houses", each of them living, detached form normal society, in its own micrcosmos. Quasi-religious orders, candidates for them are usually chosen at the age of the 12. Now if your brother showed great aptitude it would be a shame if he got caught in the downward spiral of misfortune along with his family without any doing of his own. Especially in the Capellan Confederation that can't afford to waste anything. So it might have been arranged (either by your family using its last available connections and favours or a Housemaster who was made aware of his exceptional talent) to induct him into one of the Houses, perhaps even a little bit later than 12. (Though probably before you left in disgrace.) [It might take a bit of juggling with the respective ages, but I think it would be worth it.] Folkert [/QUOTE]
