[Discuss] Duels Adventurer vs. Noble

I've seen people take different positions on this, and it's not something 
that's ever been set in stone (to my knowledge).

If I show up in a new realm, it's feasible that other nobles in the realm 
would know a few things about my family -- even if it's not famous (though 
especially if it is).

This is less the case for adventurers, though, and anyone expecting a noble 
to know anything about a commoner with some tenuous tie to the noble family 
is in for a disappointment. I've actually gone out on the unpopular limb and 
come down very hard on any nobles in Lasanar who go out of their way for 
commoners -- one recently said she might go travelling to Belauterra to 
avenge the execution of her peasant relative.

As a player, obviously I don't care where another player takes their 
characters and I wouldn't stop them even if I could. But as a character, 
that idea would be absurd to most nobles. Even the notion that our nobles 
would know who their distant relatives of less-than-noble blood are is 
far-fetched.
