I believe the Crown recognizes a person is a peer as does the peerage circle. However, I believe you earn the title by working on yourself to learn, practice, and become what you believe a peer to be. You have goals for yourself in the areas of teaching, mentoring, leadership, artistry, and more. To achieve those you learn to think and be a slightly (or in some cases more than slightly) different way. And that change may be what people see when they say "he is my peer". I'd love to talk with you more about this in person. I'm usually found with a camera in my hands when I'm found at all.

My good Caelin,

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting them both, as well as the Baron and Baroness of Steppes.

If I may offer an opinion, and please don't take this as a rebuke, but just an opinion and a way of looking at things.  so I start I start this next with IMHO.....

One doesn't earn a peerage, be it Laurel, Knight, or Pelican.  The Crown can not make a peer.   It is the honor of the Crown to recognize those individuals who have made of themselves peers.

Many many years ago I approached my Laurel and requested that he take me as an apprentice.  His response was to ask me a question "Why do You want to be a Laurel?"  Honestly I was stumped, and I didnt know how to answer that question, I just had not thought that far ahead.  So about 6 months later I came back with my answer and became his student, and later his apprentice, and journeyman.

"I do not want to become a Laurel.  I wish to become what a Laurel is, or should be, a teacher, a student, a mentor, a friend, a leader, a servant, as well as an artist.  That is what I seek in an apprenticeship.  If in learning these things I ever become a Laurel, I will look upon that Great Honor as what it truly is, a signpost along the path, not an end goal.  That is a path that will take the rest of my life to walk."

That is my promise to Master Charles Oakley.

Though he is very accomplished as an artist as is his wife, the Baron and Baroness of Elfsea are not yet Laurels. Ansteorra is a tough group when it comes to earning a peerage.

For all that the Baron of the Steppes is a Laurel, the Baron of Elfsea is probably our most accomplished expert in furniture. You really are moving to a great area.

Ahhh Greetings Your Excellency Don Duncan.  Now that I will be living in Steppes, I am interested in putting my skills to use.  I have made numerous thrones, two Baronies., and both sets of Midrealm Travel Thrones are my work.  I will have to consult with you on what types of projects there might be a need for in that area.  Furniture design and construction is what  I am apprenticed for.
