This is a very good point.  It is a far cry from the travel costs of say 
Draconwald, but the costs will effect how much money is needed for the 6 
months of traveling (plus 2 or 3 as heirs) as Crown.  It is definatly 
something people will have to factor in when seeing if they can afford to 
win, I wonder if it will change the number fielded in this next Crown Tourney.
