NR - Northern Retional Tribute

[Geni Gorham]

Vivat Baroness Gitana, I support what you have said here and the Barony of Nameron
in what ever they as a group decide to do.
No disrespect intended but if we let those in office do what they chose without
consulting the populace at large, we will lose the joy of playing this game.  All
people should remember it is only a game.
It is with regret that some have to wield "there so called  power" whether they
have any or not.
Jessamy Gorham, of House Wizard's Keep
