OK. My idea is that the main reason she joined the army was to see the world outside the swamps, and try to avoid anything actually dangerous. Yes, it seems daft, but according to the news there are Americans who do this :)

Hmm, I see what you mean. "worshipped by executioners, bodyguards, and fell warriors", it says here. I'd assumed that everywhere has its own army/warriors, and joining the Lunar army instead of the local one is sort of like the Gurkhas joining British regiments. You're already a local warrior, you just go and sign up with a bunch of foreigners.
Native abilities include "spear fighting" for *all* occupations, after all... Doesn't sound much more civilised than Sartar to me!
Of course, it also says that Darjiini tend to move from one practice to another more as less as they feel like it - there *is* no "core practice" as such. I saw her as changing from whatever she was in before to Black Snake simply along the lines of "hmm, better get some combat magic".

And with the mix of PCs we've got here, we'll need a few :)

See my previous post for the requirements for this regiment, vexilla, or whatever it is. Myths and history are "story" - I can usually do that.
