Nationality - Rhodok?[]

I noticed during my game that her connection to Yalen is due to her mother's house being there, implying that she is of Rhodok heritage. However, I hesitate to add this to her page because while other characters supposedly coming from one place will appear in any tavern (IE, Bunduk is a former Rhodok soldier who can be recruited in a Vaegir town with the same story).

Adding nationality would be confusing, as the only thing that matters in this respect is the troop type recruited by heroes. However, most heroes do not always recruit from the same faction (only Alayen, Bahestur, Bunduk, Firentis, and Matheld do). As Ymira is not one of them, her nationality is not important as far as the game mechanics are concerned. I think it is enough to state the facts and let readers come to their own conclusions.

In that case, shouldn't Deshavi's Nord nationality be removed from her page? IIRC she recruits troops based on fief ownership. I mean, if this is the policy, best that it's consistent across the board. Luke Danger (talk) 23:21, April 6, 2015 (UTC)
I would say yes, it should be removed. I don't think we need to mention nationalities on any hero who doesn't recruit from one specific faction. And even in that case, I think it is probably better to just say they always recruit x troops and not go into what the individual's nationality might be.
