Seems like most of the maesters get sent out. My guess is that maesters who are apprentices of (and thus future candidates for) the archmaesters) get to stay, but most leave.
What proportion of the maesters are appointed to castles and what proportion remain at the Citadel, do you think? And how does a maester get the opportunity to stay at the Citadel rather than be sent out on castle duty?
