I've roleplayed with Kaleel quite a bit as my Reverend and I can agree with Doc that he can be seen as quite a rough-arm . I don't believe I've seen him attempt any politicking.

Anyway, my advice for non-ailors is not to chase specifically titles, for the most part that is a blind endeavour and won't leave you feeling any happier. The title system right now values roleplayers who make more gain in institutional power or influence rather than their title itself.

Work your way up, not to a title. Make friends, get favours. Try to reach high places in the guard charters and then you'll have political weighting. What I'm trying to say is that non-Ailor's path to nobility will always be dirty one way or another.
