I really hope it isn't as simple to get started and learn as posting a request in the hob section as I kind of liked the way its shrouded in mystery and full of secrets.
The intention is very much that by some means or the other, you put out feelers and find someone to apprentice you, while also you know, grudgingly or not so grudgingly actually teaching you a thing or two inbetween the customary drudgework and profiteering saddled on apprentices. Or they might simply exploit you, and/or murder you and commit crimes against God with your body for some evil ritual or potion.
Like how Darwoth may or may not be doing with his "Long Pig for Real Pig" program. I don't discount the possibility that he might really be honest here, there are normally mean or cutthroat players of this game and other games like them that can be very honorable and charitable.
Still, the proof is in the pudding. We'll yet see whether Darwoth will feast on both kinds of Pig himself, or whether he will generously provide Pigs and stuff as part of the deal. Only when the appointed time has come and gone and people are happily situating their livestock in Providence (or not) will we know the truth of it.
