Thanks!  All bard love applause.  And with that in mind, let me
quote Megan's note to me about attribution:

"thank you for posting the history.  I forgot an important detail--the
history was written by myself and Baron Orm, with the help of Hrabia Jan
W'Orzeldom, Count Finn Kelley O'Donnel, Master Ivar Battleskald,& Lord Xylon
Xerxes.  Portraits from the time also aided us, but at least those people
should be credited, if possible.  My apologies."
