Galen, this is mildly wrong.  Permission must be given only for awards that
carry arms (and precedence).  I have always lived in the Principality of the
Mists, but I hold awards from Cynagua and Lochac (as well as the Barony of
the Far West).  Permission was not required for these awards, since they did
not convey arms.
