I think most of this is answered in the below post. If it's not, let me know what's still unclear. A few extra comments:

Not necessarily.

Here's some of the things that can be requirements for edges:

- Level
- Skill/spell/etc. at X%
- Strength/dex/etc. at a certain level.
- Alignment
- Ethos
- Class
- Race
- Having another edge
- Not having another edge

So meeting the race requirement is necessary for a racial edge but not necessarily sufficient.

More like thief points.

Discuss guildmaster is it. If you don't see anything, you aren't eligible for any edges yet.

Always on.
