[@AngelofOctober] No, your eyes did not deceive you. I haven't added that part in :hehe, but the enlistment isn't anything crazy. Being as corrupt as they are, the Swordseekers will ask for a hefty fee or something of significant value in order to apply, then weed out the weak through an intense boot camp which eventually leads to the first trial. Applicants either pay the fee or they're referred by people of high stature like military personnel, monarchs, or nobility (The Swordseeker advisory board prefers this as they often ask bribes or favors from those types in exchange for the applicant's entry)
