Orderly I feel implies a level of commitment to the church - like a Templar Knight. If you wanted somebody who was not especially religious then he will have trouble getting the churchmen to teach him stuff. Of course as a noble he can just tell them I guess....
I am going to run a Seshnela one off using an old Pendragon scenario. Maybe my trying to fit my Pendragon view into Seshnela is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole! Thanks for your patience. The rules *don't* seem to be that clear on what you can expect to be as a knight. Can you be a knight Liturgist for example?

As a begining character he gets all the spells doesn't he - only 3 if he becomes an orderly after play commences?
