You've arrange with Bordure to get it on this month's LoI, then?
Cool.

I would advise you to hold off a month to make sure you have a
name you like.  Register in haste, repent at leisure.

You're not a fat head (except maybe in the physical sense; I've
never seen you that I know of).  You have a clue and you're
learning.

I dreaded reading the next paragraph.  The CoA does not care
about persona stories, and more often than not they're wretched,
especially when adduced as "documentation".  (The classic stated
with a tidal wave knocking a swimmer from Hawaii to Japan and a
fishing boat full of samurai.)

But yours is a quite reasonable story, except for the
understandable "how the heck did we get to this place called
'Ansteorra'?" problem.  Some ignore it, some talk about wandering
in.

Coastal Region, then, or on the Meridies border -- a lot of the
grass is turning brown here.

If you asked about that before, I spaced out -- sorry.  What
design elements do you really like?  One suggestion I've heard is
to pick one color, one metal, and one charge type, and start
riffing on those theme.  If you have more elements that are
significant, we can work with those too.

(Personally, I like straight-line geometrics, but that's because
they're somewhat underused in the Society but mostly because I
can't draw worth a damn.)
