Are we going to get more information on the Aldori Duelling schools in this.

On a related note is there going to be a campaign trait to get round the EWP requirement for the Aldori Duelling Sword.

Something like

Aldori Student

You have practiced since childhood in the Aldori style..as a result you count as being proficient with the Aldori Duelling Sword.

I'd even settle for it occupying two trait slots

Not really; the Brevoy article is much more about the history of the nation and a gazetteer of its locations and life in general in Brevoy. There's no crunch at all in the article.


Thanks for the prompt reply James..

I should have clarified that I meant the player guide when talking about traits.

I'd like a definition of who the "Aldori" are...I've read the Brevoy section in PFCCS and the Mivon section in GttRK and I still have no idea. Are they a society of swordmasters like the Jedi? Or a human ethnicity like the Shoanti (with a Russian/Slavic flavoring)? Or something else entirely?

The Aldori are basically a society of swordmasters, like Jedi but without any mystical magic powers. They're not an ethnicity.

So...they're like a Fight Club? ;-)


Hmm..having now read the Mivon article in Guide to the River Kingdoms I think I have a better handle on these guys.

Their political interactions with my players in KingMaker should be..... interesting.

The First rule of the Aldori Dueling School is you don't talk about the Aldori Dueling School.

Thank you! I was wondering when someone would make that connection. :-)

Sorry I couldn't get to it quicker, I was working. :)

But, personally, I'd love to see more information on the Aldori Duelists and the Schools.

I don't know what James will ultimately cut-or-keep in my turnover from Blood for Blood. But I did include a small reference to the Aldori in that chapter of the Kingmaker AP (KM #4 to be exact). It won't give you any further information on them, though.
