<p class="MsoNormal">By Kingdom Law Every Barony has an Armigerous Service award
that carries Kingdom Precedence , Ours is the Keystone. All other Baronial
wards Carry no Kingdom Precedence and are tracked only on the Local level. the development
of these awards and orders is left principally to the Landeds of the group in
question. Some Baronies have awards for fighting like the Cross Fluery of Bryn
Gwlad and some even have awards for their Children<br>
<br>
There actually is an A&S award in Elfsea it is the Order of the Eastern
Tower. It was named such for the towers on the Arms of Elfsea and the Eastern
tower was chosen for the artist for though the southern exposure would gve more
light throughout the day the east gives the clear neutral light of the
morning sun that is invaluable to artist. This order was founded by Daniel and
Sioban during their time as our Baron and Baroness. <br>
<br>
The members of this Order I can think of off the top of my head are HL Desree
DuPre of Dragonsfire Tor and Master Phillip White<br>
<br>
As to why there is no Martial award in Elfsea... To this point we haven't
needed one. should the need and the desire s of the populace reflect that such
an order is needed I am sure that Their Excellencies and thier heirs would take
the appropriate steps to create one. <br>

<div>While I was reading about the Baronial awards on the new website (which
looks great, I might add), I noticed that there are no Baronial awards for
fighting or for the arts, only for service. I found this to be most
curious, as the Kingdom from whence I came had awards for all three on the
Baronial, Shire, and Canton levels. Is there anyone who can speak to
this? Is this a Kingdom-wide thing, or just local? In my experience,
I have found that recognition at a local level can do much to inspire the
populace to further their knowledge and practice of the arts, be they martial or
otherwise.</div>
