[Steppes] Ministry of Children

[Kevin Black]

I like the Guild of the Oaken Star as an overall, however I'm wondering if 
we may wish to have some subgroups

This may be a bad analogy but would it maybe make sense to have several 
different subgroups, in the way the girl guides or boy scouts do?  Not sure 
on the designations in the states, but the little kids were beavers, then 
cub scouts, and scouts.

Due to the wide age ranges of the children it's difficult to expect them all 
to want to be of the same group, or even focus on the same activities.  As 
the children age, they'll certainly grow their own tastes, be they martial, 
arts, sciences or service and may very well wish to pursue those goals 
whereas the youngers ones would tend to be more interested in play 
activities.

Breaking out the groups a little bit, could enhance the camarederie of the 
younger set, and allow for a more diverse workup.

In a nutshell what I'm thinking would be an encompassing group called the 
Guild of the Oaken Star (I like that a lot the more I see it), with three 
different age breakouts and distinct names, such as growing gryce for the 
tots, academy of the young wolves for the youths, and heirs of the steppes 
for the teens.  That way while all would be members of the Guild of the 
Oaken Star at any one point they'd either be: Gryce, Wolves or Heirs.
