Oooh. How period. Very similar complaints show up throughout period,
at least from the peons, tradesfolks and lessor gentlity.

Those who can only afford to improve the periodness of their own gear
or help support the fancies of the group should work on the former and
ignore the appeals of the VIPs.

Those that can afford to do both should by all means do so. Irregardless
of whether we have principalities or not.

The problems that Wamba faces are not because of the principalities
question and should be worked on regardless of how the principalities
question works out.
