Honestly the thought of impossible to pick from non lords is not true. Certain characters have a huge fanbase that could be picked, I.E. Nephenee, Joshua, Soren, Cordelia, Gregor, Seth, or Raven. Also new playstyle lords, Ephraim, Hector, Mounted Eliwood, Eirika, Sigurd, also i am talking maybe two of these MAX
