ANST - P-words...in a nut-shell.

Salut , Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

Our right noble brother Sir Kief says:
>I still believe that if one lives in the principality of "X" then they owe
>their loyalty to the principality...first...to the Kingdom...second. At least
>that is the picture that I've seen from all the other principality folk
>everywhere I've traveled in the last 14 years....

I find this a curious observation.  I was a knight of Atenveldt and a
resident of the Principlaity of Artemisia.  I suppose it could be a
different matter for those who lived in the Principality of
Drachenwald--the rest of the kingdom being so far away--but that's an
unusual case.  I know I've never heard a Westerner introduce him/herself as
a Cynaguan.

I swore fealty to the Crown of Atenveldt and held my barony in fief for
Their Aten Majesties.  The protocol should always be kingdom first,
principality second, barony third.
