It was one of those odd discoveries, since my
trickster had the best combat skill in the tribe at
the time, and we had no humakti, I expected the game
to make him the default questor. When it didn't, I
looked to see if he was shown at all, and he wasn't.
Note than you can send tricksters on at least some of
the other quests.

In post-roman western europe, there were forms of
marriage for dealing with unusual class differences
and other odd situations. I forget the exact terms
and the conditions they were meant for, but the
options included things such as the children not being
elegible to inherit from one side or the other, or one
spouse not having rights on the other's wealth.
Concubinage was also quite common. The catholic
church tended to frown on all of these things, and
eventually they mostly died out.
