Actually, it was at Namron Protectorate. I was one of the ladies there 
along with Mistress Stella, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Gunhilda, HL Trechen, 
Sir Cyf, and another lady who's name I can't recall... with Karl, the 
Earl Marshal (and a few passers who leaned in upon hearing the word 
"breast").
As I was told, the subject hardly came-up in the circle. Can you say 
what happend?

Yippie!

Actually, I have been checking in with him and haven't heard anything... 
with the understanding that Karl is a busy man. (Just spoke with him 
last Saturday).

One of the reasons why Karl & I told the other ladies it would be smart 
to take this one step at a time.

What can I do to help?

Actually, I don't know how many people from other kingdoms I've fought. 
I know it's Atlantia, Ansteorra, Timaris, Merrides, East, Caid, 
Outlands, and not to mention the man who trains me... my knight, 
Viscount Galen of Bristol, who ws a prince in over-seas (and my lord, 
Sir Corwin, who gives me lots of pointers... having fought in numerous 
kingdoms as well). For only doing this all in 2 years, I have an idea of 
the general opinion of other kingdom's blows, as well as my own. 
 According to Duke Solemon (in Trimaris) and my household lord (in 
Atlantia), Atlantia (under Logan's reign) is making effort to ease their 
blows... crank it down a knotch or two.
