I don’t think this’ll come up at all in the series, so hopefully it won’t be a RAFO. ;) Just how ‘organized’ is the institution of blademastery, if we can call it that? I believe you hinted before that there’s more to blademastery than beating a blademaster and taking his sword. And, how many blademasters do you imagine exist in Randland at the time of the books? Just how rare is it?
First off…rarity. Fewer than 100 men in the nations that are spoken of in the books. It is a semi-formal thing that is normally one is chosen to become a blademaster by other blademasters. There’s no real organization. IF you want to become a blademaster, you have to find other blademasters who are willing to acknowledge you as an equal.
