Social Status of Warriorborn
Brightbane:
Cats are on ships to deal with the rat population that invariably shows up. Maybe there aren't rats on that world so it never became a crossover?
kazimmoinuddin:
Cats deal with almost any small pest that t.hreatens cargo or supplies.
If warriors are a bloodline thing, then I would expect for there to be warrior based houses to augement the noble ones. Even if it is not a dominant heritage, those that don't express would still be able to apply for the spire reach guard or military service, so be known as a militant family.

Benny was from a splinter/branch Family of gwen's yes? I wonder if they have a higher tendancy of Warrior-born? Given that Gwen mentioned a Warriorborn would be an acceptable mate if he were the actual heir to the house, I have to think it can manifest unexpectedly in, so perhaps it doesnt breed particularly true, or at least doesnt manifest reliably?
kazimmoinuddin:
Nobility often intermingled with warrior families. Their ancestors rewarded for their actions in battle. But I would think they would be eager to marry daughters to warriors, to bolster their influence and power.
I can see them making advantageous marriages in the cadet lines, so even if the high nobility disdain them, the lower ones would be eager to accept them.

Depending on the pervasive levels of the racism involve, you may well be right, from a logical standpoint. But racism and logic...?
