ANST - Principality questions

[Lori Campbell]

OK.  I keep reading (and reading and reading) in the hopes that I 
will stumble across answers to the questions that I have, but nobody 
else seems to have brought them up, so, here goes...

If a region becomes a principality, do groups in that area still get 
to bid to host Kingdom events (like Crown Tourney, Kingdom Warlord, 
etc.?) - or do those in the principality just have to resign 
themselves to traveling outside the principality in order to fight in 
the Kingdom's Crown Tournament, or compete in Kingdom Eistedfodd, 
etc.?

Also, several years back there was much concern voiced from many of 
the peers in my region about how hard it was to get their circles to 
recognize candidates for peerage unless the candidate travelled at 
least as far south as Steppes (but more often to Stargate or further) 
in order to be seen.  I think the problem seems to be getting better, 
but how would an outlying principality fare?   

For example: You have a lady who is an absolutely brilliant 
embroiderer, costumer and bard.  What if most of the Laurels in her 
region want her elevated to peerage.  What if the Prince and 
Princess agree.  What if the Laurels outside the principality don't 
know her or her work and aren't sure she is their peer.  How would 
this most likely be handled?  

I could think of equivalent examples for the other two peerages, but 
I think this one gets the point across....

If what I've heard is true, that Prince & Princess don't make peers, 
do they attend peer circles?  (I wouldn't think so, but I don't 
know).

These really aren't all of my questions, but they are the questions 
that *I* am often asked, so I thought I'd see if anyone could tell me 
based on experience or whatever rules there might be out there 
somewhere.....

Thanks!
