We have seen >only three example of which I know. <original snipped for brevity> I always assumed Kragar just bought a title in the Jhereg. Miklos, in _Brokedown Palace_ joined the Teckla, apparently as soon as he moved to the Empire. Perhaps it is a simple as swearing feality. >So.. if your a Teckla that just happens to be "good with his hands", and >ends up doing a bit of "work", can you "join" the Organization, and thus >presumably the Jhereg?

What about a Dzur that turned out to fear >combat, but have a flair for architecture and construction.. could they >"move" to the House of the Vallista? I would think that would be about as likely as an Irishman joining the Mafia in real life. In other words, not very. And "my lord" implies an actual title, so an untitled Jhereg or Teckla would just be "hey you". I personally like to think that every house has a secret way in, even if Vlad doesn't know it. --Andrew _________________________________________________________________ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx
