I've got some questions about Rokari castes for people to ponder.
Wizards:
In the TotRM Rokarism aritcle it talks about 'Most of the Wizards study
in the Rokari Monasteries.' How much is most? 80% What happen to the
rest? Would a powerful wizard train his sons and keep a household of
servants and child-bearing peasants?
Does the military maintain a wizard legion?
It hints in places that Rokar wizards are not allowed to use weapons (and
armor), but it isn't explicity stated as a sin. Is there a small subset of
common weapons they can use? Staff?
Are all wizards priests? If not, how do their roles differ. If so, what
are the roles of Wizard priests in Rokari society? My guess is the same as
any priestly role, but being Glorantha...
Lords:
Nowhere does it state that the Lords are limited from learing spells. It say "They commonly learn..." But are they restricted from others? The only restriction I could find was to Intensity.
Knights:
It says that menial labor is a Sin. How do the armies function? Are they followed around by a large group of Peasants to maintain them? Granted the knights would have servants, but even the common soldier?
Lineage:
Are bastards considered their father's caste? Is marriage a requirement for caste lineage? What caste are widows?
