Ah, good.  Of course, when I made it, I =was= Aten Principle Herald, and I wore 
it a lot then.  That's why I was wondering if Artemisia had any such laws 
(cloaks were for Titled Heralds).  So I'll take it to Loch Salann Birthday 
Tourney this weekend and see if anyone needs it (I'm keeping it, but I'll loan 
it out).

Somewhere in my basement, I have a VERY old Aten herald's cloak, that I need to 
send to Atenveldt one of these days (when I find it again).  It's got History.

I used to be that way (don't know how many photos there are of me out there 
with my mouth open), but people don't know me any more.  Just as well!

Thank you so much, Mistress Shauna!  I'm having SO much fun with them.
