Hi RPC! I need some assistance in creating a back ground for my character.  I have his personal life pretty down pat but i got to the point where i am trying to incorporate his Job with his background and im hitting some road blocks.  It is my hope that the community can help me out because i am not as "fluent" with the lore as i would like to be. Basically, my character is a Hyur Highlander that is 36 years old.  this would put his birth year at 1541.  He is a Paladin so this is where i need help incorporating that portion of the story in. The in game storyline puts you the Player Character as a "Free Paladin" - neither of nobility or high station, but a free lance adventurer not sworn in to the Sultansworn.  I want my character to be a "Free Paladin" as well but the small detail i need is exactly what year did the Sultansworn start taking in just about anyone? Previously, the Sultansworn only took in high nobility or social elite so i cant have my character joining their ranks too early.  can anyone provide this information? Thank you!

There are no further details I remember. The biggest thing we have to find out is if in 1.0 Gladiators coudl become Paladins ( I did not play back then, so I have no idea if Jobs were implemented or not). If they weren't, we have to assume that Sultansworn stopped recruiting Free Paladins for somewhere around 10 years or more (or a bit less, I suck at chronology). If 1.0 players could become Paladins, though, that means they stopped recruiting them after the Calamity five years ago. In either case, I think you can safely place your Sultanswornship in your character twenties without anyone raising any eyebrows.
