[Ansteorra] Titles

[Stefan li Rous]

Ooooh. What kind of collar?

Dog collar?
dogs-msg (82K) 12/19/10 Dogs. Barding for dogs. dog collars.

I thought those were only for dogs and squires.  :-)

What kind of collar do GoA holders wear? Or is that something that has  
fallen out of fashion or was never done in Ansteorra?

Thanks,
   Stefan
