[Northkeep] Up For Kingdom Discussion

[Tamara Britton]

Greetings Northkeep and Surrounding Communities,

Maitre Etienne, our Northern Regional Seneschal, has forwarded me a message from our Kingdom Seneschal, Mistress Gwyneth Blackrose. She has asked that our group discuss the following changes, and for me to send comments and questions back to her. 

The following is a draft proposal discussed between the Kingdom Seneschal, the Greater Officers of State, and the Crown.  It is not a decided, enacted plan; it is a draft out for review. 

Everyone should already know that Ansteorra is divided into groups for better management. We have been included in the Northern Region for some time. However, since some groups were much larger than others, they are proposing a reorganization of said groups so that our regional administration can better serve us. 

Here is the suggestion put together by the Great Officers. It is based on number of groups as well as millage between the outlying groups.

Region 1: Aldersrhue, Chemin Noir, Mooneschadowe, Northkeep, Eldern Hills, Namron, Skorragardr, Wiesenfeuer (8 groups)

Region 2: Steppes, Rosenfeld, Elfsea, Glaslyn, Lindenwood, DFT, Loch Ruadh, Emerald Keep, Bonwicke, Blacklake (10 groups)

Region 3: Stargate, Bordermarch, Seawinds, Loch Soilleir, Gates Edge, Bjornsborg, Ffynnon Gath, Raven's Fort, Shadowlands, BrynGwlad, Hellsgate (11 groups)


I am approaching this via the Northkeep list because they want a response by August 15th.

So, Northkeep and any others on our list, please offer feedback. And, if you know of someone not on the list who has an opinion, please let them know so that they may also have a voice. And, whether a peer or a newbie, everyone's voice is worthy, so please don't hold back your opinion.

Thank you,
Dervilia O'Shannon
Seneschal of the Barony of Northkeep.

P.S. Please be courteous with comments as we don't want to offend anyone.
