Well, I gave my 'keywords' thought in my last post, so I'll restrict this
to ideas for more keywords.

This might be a bit broad. Not all soldiers are knights...

Criminal might be a good idea also. A cat burglar might not be an outlaw.
(only because he hasn't been caught yet...)

Technically, 'Royalty' would be the sovereign and his family. All the
lesser titles (Barons, Earls, Counts, Viscounts, Dukes, Archdukes,
Grand Dukes, Baronets, Grafs, and of course their female counterparts
plus many I'm forgetting) would be 'Nobility'.

This seems rather D&Dish to me, especially with the division of magic like
that. I would classify as 'Religious Figure' (which would include priests,
monks, nuns, rabbis, ministers, lamas, and whatever else people come up
with) and then have 'Magic-users' as the second category, which would be
wizards, witches, sorcerors, mages, healers, hedge-wizards,
thaumaturgists, demonologists, theurgists, mediums, augurers, oracles...
There might be overlap, but there's no need to force it.

The big one I see left out is Entertainers. Jongleurs, troubadors,
minstrels, bards, players, tumblers, performers of all sorts...
