OOC: Many of the students you've encountered are young - 14 or 15 seems to be the average starting age, but a few are as young as 12. However, you have learned in the course of the day that 16 is the minimum age to enter either of the Queens special services, as well as the minimum age to begin the journeyman stage in training to become Gléas Ceoil.
Students as old as 35 are not uncommon, and the oldest ever to pass through the school was 63 - Marcán Morann became Mharcaíochta and rode posts for the Queen until he died at 81. He fell from his horse, Treasa, and broke his neck during the war to settle Trócaire.

"The Mharcaíochta are the Queen's Messengers. Their duties differ significantly from those of the Bairdéir - they are her primary means of communication over distances, and have little or nothing to do with the administration of justice, disseminating information to the masses, or the other duties of the Bairdéir. Abracham, who brought you into the city, is one such; Aoife is in training to become Mharcaíochta as well."

OOC: You know we are! I've been spending my free time (outside of work and the family) trying to get characters updated. We'll get back into it - don't give up on me!

It's not difficult for Skáth to track down a few people who were dissatisfied with service to the Queen - surprisingly, Irial proves helpful in this regard as well. The Queen is tolerant of those who disagree with her policies, so long as their disagreement doesn't lead to illegal actions or rebellion. When they do, she deals with them as matters of law rather than of personal disrespect.
Those that you find who speak poorly of the Queen appear to have had judgements go against them, or to have been dismissed from her service for poor performance, drunkenness or laziness, etc. All were 'common' soldiers or palace staff - none of the Bairdéir or Mharcaíochta (current or retired) have any complaints.
