In Rokari lands, knights are fighting noblemen. The Sharp AB clarifies it, citing instances in myth, legend and history where the Talars fought. So in Rokari lands, the leaders can fight to. But the soldiers--they can only fight.

No it doesn't.
Commoners, knight/nobles and soldiers are strictly differentiated among the
Rokari.
