:Best I've ever been able to figure, it should be treated as "proving" the nobility that they were born with (in other words, proving that the noble blood in them is stronger than the common, or something along those lines), rather than trying to claim that they were not noble and became noble. The time as an adventurer can be talked about, but as the time when they were forced to live below their station. It probably shouldn't have too much attention drawn to it (after all, it wasn't the best time of their life), but trying to hide it is probably silly. --[[User:Danaris|Anaris]] 21:38, 20 January 2012 (CET)

Elated?

elate |əˌleɪt| |iˌleɪt| 
verb [ trans. ] [usu. as adj. ] ( elated)  
make (someone) ecstatically happy : I felt elated at beating Dennis. 
adjective, archaic: in high spirits; exultant or proud : the ladies returned with elate and animated faces.

Is this really what is meant in the phrase, "they can't even talk in a properly elated language"? --Anaris 03:49, 22 February 2007 (CET)

Mayhap the writer was referring to "elevated" language? Elenar 04:11, 22 February 2007 (CET)

Adventurer origin - nobility stripped and questioned?

Hmm... does that mean, it might be possible in the future for nobility questioning... not only chop someone down from their lordships/etc.. but dump them all the way down to peasantry? (thus everyone killable?)

RP Treatment of conversion from Adventurer to Nobility

Question - when an adventurer gets the recommendations, and becomes a noble.. how should he or she treat her time as a commoner? And-or should they ever mention their recommendation process which made them a noble anyway? ie: hide it, be embarrassed about it, or it's as if the "A Knight's Tale" movie, and be proud that they rose up to become a true noble, and due to their "low station at the start" they're proud to be more than what they once were? -- --Faith 20:59, 20 January 2012 (CET)

As I've had this come up several times with Jenred...He was denied his "proper" place as a noble of House Bedwyr by his father, and sent off in exile to the Far East. He adventured around for a while, and proved himself to several high nobles who accepted his claim as a member of House Bedwyr, and he later visited the family home and presented himself to the then-current head of the House, his half-brother, who accepted his claim and thus made Jenred a full member in good standing in House Bedwyr. When Jenred talks about it, it's generally with bitterness at having been cast out by his father, though he's also not above bragging about having slain far more monsters and undead personally (and without ever being wounded, though he's more than made that up since, arrows love him, sigh) than most nobles ever see.
