NK - Question

[Rebecca M. Heydon]

Well, most certainly for Pelicans, yes.  But Laurels, for instance, do
metal working or embroidery or illumination or the like extremely,
extremely well.  The are considered by many to be 'experts' in their
respective fields.  Service is most certainly part of who and what they are
but not necessarily the predominant characteristic.  My view of the
Chivalry is much the same.  Service is part of that Order but without being
predominantly an excellent fighter, Master/Sir Dingus would not be a
master/knight. (NOTE:  This is my interpretation, no one else's...).

So yes, I think service is part of these 3 orders and is an excellent
starting point but what else?  What makes someone *want* to become a Peer?
