However the trials were a part of the long term mentor/student relationship that many RPers have wanted. No one has to do them, they're more of just a tradition used by Sultansworn RPers to 'graduate' their pupils after long periods of apprenticeship. Roen and Kage took 3 or 4 months, if I recall.
Natalie just Rped as a sultansworn, as did Crofte, and I have nothing against anyone who does that.
When I came into the game, Anelia was not playing, Erik was away on medical leave and Natalie, Roen, and Kage were demoted to Brass Blades. I would have preferred going the mentor/student route, but the way things were going it made more sense to jump right in.
Romy, Roysia, Anita, Chachanji, Aiden all want to go the the same route. That's great, I'll accommodate everyone I can as time/creativity allows! Shas went the route of "left on good terms, came back a few years later". Nyalie's background is that she's veteran to the point that she sits and does administrative work in the armory rather than standing guard. I've seen one or two others who wear armor and say they do mostly paperwork.
It all meshes together in the end and I think it makes the group as a whole feel more realistic.
