Posted. If anyone can come up with a better word than "soldier" to Wulfric's last comment, I'd be happy to change it. I wanted something slightly deragotary (sp?) noting to their difference of rank but given Thornden's current (high) position maybe something else than a military term would be better? Calling Thornden "soldier" is kind of stupid, but I didn't want to use "peasant" either and the word I wanted eludes me. Anything that would emphasise the fact that Thornden is a common-born countryside soldier as opposed to being a nobleman warrior raised up in Edoras?
