     Greetings,
     In this case, the changes are a consensus of a group. Namely. the 
     Mooneschadowe Kitcheners Guild. The Guild decided that 'feastocrat' is 
     a bad term, and the cook in charge is refered to as Head or Chief 
     Cook. Aeddan's Lady wife is in charge of the servers during the feast 
     and is refered to sometimes as the Steward of the Hall. Aeddan is also 
     Guildmaster.
