Kinsmen

The Kinsmen are fighters of great skill and endurance, each of whom has studied woodlore, stealth, individual combat tactics, runelore, and many other skills over a long and difficult training period. They are addressed as "Kinsmen," even when addressing only one.

To become a Kinsmen, you must ask one to make you a Swordbrother, which means that you will be under their supervision and training. The Kinsmen, if he accepts you, will teach and help you, until such time as he believes that you are ready to become a Kinsmen. This time can vary but will likely be at least two years. At that point, the Kinsmen will request that the Crown bestow the title.

Kinsmen are considered proficient in all weapons, and are able to train and test for weapon proficiencies.
