Greetings unto those gathered around this small fire,

Those asking about persona play might be interested in some of the files
in the PERSONA section of my Florilegium Files such as:

For instance, the following is a message from the persona-nsg file.

>From the pen(?) of Etienne de Montagu, good greetings:
Regarding awards that "don't fit the persona", I'd like to share a tale:  
        Many moons ago, there lived in my barony (Bjornsborg, 
Ansteorra) a gentle called Leon Donne, a goodly fellow for yeoman 
stock.  Leon's persona was (still is) an English bowman straight out of 
Henry V.  When he got his AoA, his solution to the problem was to carry 
it (the scroll) around in a leather case at his belt wherever he went, 
so that he could prove his right to hunt the King's deer.  One day, 
some friends of his with more "noble" personas cornered him and 
confronted him about "pretending to be a Lord".  Leon presented the 
scroll to the threesome and the exchange went something like this:
Godwyn (holding the scroll upside down):  Michael, you're a Norman, can 
you read?
Michael:  I thought you could....
Martha (grabbing the scroll away) Here, I can read..... wait this isn't 
Portugese!
Leon grabs his scroll and ducks out 
Exeunt omnes
                                        I remain,
                                        Etienne de Montagu
