And did Stalgrad talk about guilds? I think the whole FLAME was about certain
backgrounds not getting swim.

The point was that individuals growing up, no matter where they are or what
they do should be able to learn how to swim. It's not a warrior's priveldge
to know how to swim because he's a tough guy. If us nerds who can sit behind
a computer all the time can know how to swim, why can't characters who
constantly are going out adventuring know this fundamental skill?
But also consider that in medieval ages, swimming was not a common skill...
Hm, I talked to my grandma once, and she said they used to love to swim....so
are you SURE about them not swimmin then?....
And you are SURE that your grandma lived in the medieval ages...mmm...
In one of my past lives I was a wandering monk in the days of old. My feet
were cracked and my face burnt by the harsh sunlight. Still, I would continue
my journey to spread the word... Until one day, I came upon a sight I'd not
seen before. 'Twas a pool of water in the middle of nowhere. Its surface
glistening in the morning light. The Lord was with me that day. I knelt down
at the edge of the radiant waters and wet my lips with the wonderful liquid.
The inside of my body ached in joy with tasting the sweet nectar...my outside
wanted some as well. I was alone on this morning, and felt it wouldn't be of
any harm to enter the pool, if only for a little while. I discarded my robe
and slowly waded out towards the center of the circle. I wasn't paying
attention and suddenly lost my footing on something slick under the waters'
surface. I fell face forward towards the deep center of the pool. The water,
now clouding my vision, had turned against me. I strugged against its deathly
pull, but to no avail. I yelled out, but alas, there was no one to hear my
cries of anguish, save for the Lord himself. Even He had abandoned me in my
time of need. I was left alone with the chilling grasp of the water's hand at
my throat. I strugged, but it was in vain. Slowly, the water pulled me down
into its dark depths. It was there that I stayed for a millennia, until the
Lord saw fit to reincarnate me into my current form. My form has been
bastardized, my faith, shattered. All of this rancor built up inside me at the
betrayer, the one in whom I placed my life. All because I couldn't swim.
