The sergeantry no longer serves it's original purpose and hasn't for a while. I worked from the original template and tried to make improvements but change is slow especially when the status quo is challenged.
I NEVER thought of the sergeants as a free labor pool and took great pains to never treat them as such. However, they were the Baroness's Guard (Ralg and I agreed to keep things traditional that way) and were willing to step in and do something if I asked them to such as pinch hitting for the herald, setting up the Baronial pavilion if nobody else was around to do it, etc. They often volunteered to do these things too.
I considered them to be role models and as a result teachers by example both in DL and outside it. Some did not practice this. Others did, like going to fight practice and taught even though they lived outside DL or learning new things beyond their original discipline.
If you guys don't mind an old used baroness involved I'd like to work with you on developing your vision of the sergeantry.
