Scholar
Agitator
Old World politics is extremely complex and varies greatly from country to country,
but no matter what part of the continent we're talking about, simple people don't
have much to say about governance.
Nevertheless, there are numerous political activists in the streets calling for changes
or even overthrow of the aristocracy.
Agitators are often well educated as many of them left or were removed forcibly from
academies. The most talented and charismatic of them are able to carry the crowds with
them, pouring new ideas into the minds of the masses. This usually makes them enemies
and a great threat to the state, so they are persecuted and wanted by the city watch.
