I think you would find that most Crowns have been very happy to have a 
Northern Army leader that they can coordinate through at Gulf Wars.   One 
point that I think needs to be made is that the concept of the Northern 
Regional Warlord developed in parallel.  First, was the warlord tourney 
idea that Johann and Thorvald were working on that would have been an 
unofficial "War Champion" of the North.  Independent of this was the 
Kingdom Warlord tourney held during HRM Mahadi's reign.  At that event His 
Majesty appointed a sub-warlord for each region in the Kingdom to help the 
Kingdom Warlord prepare the kingdom for Gulf Wars.  The first Northern 
warlord was my squire Talen.  Talen sought out His majesties permission to 
place his new title on the line at the upcoming NR Warlord event, something 
he did not have to do.  Mahadi agreed and through skill and a little luck 
Talen won his title back at the event.  Thus the die was set for how we 
have tried to choose our Warlords over the past 4 years.  I think that the 
concept must be fine tuned but that the need for a Warlord is still there 
as strong as ever.
