Found three more:
- Equipment. For some reason 01fftd capitalizes this in section texts,
but no other books as far as I can see, so we remove it there I guess?
- Monastery. I agree that it should be capitalized in "Kai Monastery",
and maybe, *maybe* also in "Monastery of the Kai" but I really don't
think it should be capitalized alone.
- Journeyman. It should be capitalized when referring to the Kai rank,
and so probably to where Swift Fox is called a "journeyman" in 02tfc.
But what about when Banedon describes himself as a journeyman in
01fftd - maybe it's a rank among the Brotherhood magicians too? And
the journeyman of the Guildhall in Holmgard?
