As a matter of fact, yes! I'm glad you were intuitive enough to pick it up.Cosmo said:.... Sudden storms and a random lightning strike.. Which is from some random hedge knight that blasted a random city guardsmen for doing their job. Peasants sending City Guard running with improvised weaponry to save the life of a woman....
... Translation: Three hours of paperwork for Asavar.... I'm onto all of you. Don't think I'm not! I see the dastardly plan you all have, to bury Asavar in massive amounts of bureaucratic paperwork so he never has times to fight the rebellion! (>:<)
But it won't work! Because to hell with the Paperwork!

@Halohbottech is your character from a nation where anyone in armor is considered a knight (instead of the far, far, far, far more common Men-At-Arms... which is a common theme in fiction.. for some reason)... since... knights don't patrol the city... the City Guard do?
From what little people have talked about the military, seems the bulk is made up of Men-At-Arms/Sergeants and other such forces. With the forces inside the capital being the City Guard, likely drawn from people within the city, given training and equipment and then patrol the city. The Castle Guard, likely drawn from better members of the City Guard and Soldiers/Men-At-Arms and the Queen's Guard.
Imagine the knights in the land are... far more rare. Probably lesser nobles and second sons would make up the knightly ranks, doubt you would find any doing something so 'mundane' as patrolling a city.
Generally, any person in armor is considered a "Knight" in the country, and wearing armor without reason is considered taboo and even sacrilegious. Knights are people of high, high prestige, thus wearing armor (and impersonating one) is considered a highly classed offense. In a way, being a Knight is a way of making your way up the governmental and religious ladder- the higher quality armor worn, the more prestigious, reknowned, and beloved a Knight is (in Grepher's home country). Thusly why he was confused with the high quality of his heavy armor.
If the guardsmen are completely without armor, then they aren't Knights, in Grepher's eyes. If they have armor (even light armor, which I imagine they have) then they are to be challenged by Grepher if they commit to actions such as those against Grepher.
Mind you, they were doing their jobs but Grepher had done nothing wrong. It would've been futile to hand over a cursed weapon that always returns to its owner, no matter what. So, in the end, he did what had to be done- cleared a path to the nearest place of rest as quickly as possible.
(I guess you could count that part about Grepher's home as 'lore'. I don't have a name for the land yet, but I'll come up with one.)
