All the skills and attributes related to your selected keyword are added to your sheet at the default Keyword rating of 17. During character generation or play, you may not spend points to raise the Main Keyword; all of the skills 'under' the keyword can (and in fact must) be raised independently (assuming you want to raise them at all).

Standard Occupations (except as noted)

• Cavalry Soldier (select from specific sub-types)
  • Standard
  • Shock
  • Skirmisher
• Entertainer

• Foot Soldier (select from specific sub-types)
  • Archer
  • Standard

  • Skirmisher

• Servant (custom!)
• Squire (custom!)
• Thief (select from specific sub-types)
  • Mugger
  • Burglar
  • Con-artist
• Warrior (less-refined fighter-types, at least when compared to a foot-soldier occupation)

You'll notice there are no "priest" or "shaman" occupations. That's because being a spell caster is a matter of selecting specific skills and attributes during character generation -- no one particular Occupation is better or worse at this. It all comes down to how focused you are, since most anyone does at least a little magic.
