ANST - group names

[Martin, Brian]

I'm certain that Stephan already know this, but it may interest/amuse 
others. As Austin is in the Texas hill country the good folks who 
named our fair barony, (then a shire), decided upon a name that 
reflected the local geography. So these folks found the Welsh words 
for "hill" and "country";
Bryn Gwlad. However, that's not exactly how Welsh works. Therefore, 
rather than being "Hill Country", our barony's name translates to 
"Nation of the Unspecified Hill". Oh well...  :)

Pendaran, soon to be the Baron of the Nation of the Unspecified Hill.
