[Elfsea] Investiture Planning

[Richard Threlkeld]

We don't need to get aggressive about this. Such things are 
always at the Crown's discretion. They will definitely want 
to be present at an investiture and they may have a prior 
(possibly mundane) committment for Defender's date. They 
may believe with all work a new Crown must do and things 
they must learn, that they will not be ready to make a 
decision on something as important as the new B&B for 
Ansteorra's best Barony. Or something else.

Just because we are ready does not mean the Crown is 
ready.

Please make your opinions known to TRH (coronet at ansteorra.org) 
but remember to give them the honor and politeness they and their 
position deserves. 

In service,
Caelin on Andrede

>There seems to be communication happening from Their Highnesses to the current leadership (Seneschal, Vicar & Vicaress) regarding this subject.  I certainly encourage everyone to let Their Highnesses know what they want to do ... but communication can go in two directions.  What are Their Highnesses problems/concerns with a Defender investiture? It seems to me that this group is it's people, not just it's leadership.  What "new information" does the Seneschal have?
