Begging Your Excellent pardon, I think you may have been mis-informed.
Although it is possible that Laurels in this kingdom didnt take apprentices
until recent days, I feel that this is unlikely.  In Atenveldt, from whence
we inherit many of our habits, Laurels have taken apprentices since well
before 1984.  The same goes for Pelicans and Knights.  My slant on Caid,
Outlands, the East, and Drachenwald is the same as the habit of peers taking
students was well established by the time I arrived in each of these Kingdoms.
