   I like that way of doing it. The character I have in mind was bought up and started training as a Taraltaran scout, but was badly injured in a fight with a walktapus in the Holy Country (eastern Esrolian border). She was rescued by members of an Esrolian clan and adopted, taking on all their ways in gratitude. She has been training as a Bevaran, and she has kept up her scimitar skills although she doesn't wear them most of the time.

   So, Lunar/Esrolian. Not a lot of overlapping skills...
