[Artemisia] sumptuary question

[morgan wolf]

Excellency,

I believe that having successfully completed your tenure as a Palatine Baroness 
is equivalent to successfully reigning as Territorial Princess, but in truth the 
question comes down to two things- were you specifically named a Court 
Baroness by the Caidan Crown when you stepped down; and either way if you wear a 
Baronial Coronet and introduce yourself as "Maxine, XXth Palatine Baroness of 
the Western Seas" we're pretty much all gonig to accept your word for it.  One 
little caveat- Artemisia has *no* Sumptuary *law*, we find Sumptuary Custom to 
be enough.

On the other note, there actually is an Incipient Shire on the Most Eastern 
Border of Artemisia, in the area mundanely called Glendive, may I ask where 
specifically you live?  Private response to that question is fully acceptable, 
if you prefer, we might be able to introduce you to your Shire-mates.
