That's not quite right. Amongst the Loskalmi Irensavalists, all children are sent to the farms. Those who prove acceptable are enrolled as soldiers (apprentice Knights). Successful soldiers may be raised in rank to the status of Knight. Certain Knights become wizards and those wizards who show the most wisdom and judgment become rulers (Talars).
Among the Loskalmi the Men of All (or the Four Class Men) are the rulers.

Yes, this is likely true in places like Arolanit and claimed by many Rokari.

Or they may claim to know Arkati secrets unknown to everyone else.
