I prefer to make all my noble companions into lords since when starting out honorable lords generally don't join until after their faction gets destroyed and there's usually not enough martial and calculating lords willing to join early on for me, anyway. And it is nice to meet them and say hello, or to think that Rolf is actually a baron, now.Д«ut realistically speaking, it is a lot easier and more effective to put in the legwork to befriend martial and cunning lords and recruit them in your kingdom, than to waste perfectly good immortal warriors and specialists in order to get an extra lord.

In a similar vein, Bunduk does not treat him as a noble and Rolf dislikes such.Д«aheshtur respects Rolf's audacity in his claim despite not believing it, which Rolf appreciates highly. Rolf does not discuss this and instead focuses on how Deshavi, a woman 'of basest birth' refuses to address him by title or honorific, something he dislikes. Deshavihowever, will say more according to her, he was once a bandit amongst a group called the Brethren of the Woods. Rolf will simply say he was captured by them and they intended to ransom him, but escaped, and he will say no more.

The father's sons, not wishing to go the way of their parents, gathered together a group of ruffians and fled to the forest, preying on passersby and living off the land, and turning the forest into a haven for desperate or unsavory characters. The king found out about this, and ordered the family executed. According to him, an impoverished farmer and his family were desperate to survive, and risked poaching in the forest.
