Secondly, which knightly virtues would you consider we emulate, droit du
seigneur? Or the taking of land by force?

Funny girl.

> I believe in making Ansteorra real and basing it on the Knightly virtues. I

> then the culture we know as "the Dream" will be real.
> But for that to happen we need to recreate the historical matrix. The high

> the mundane values are followed in our Barony.
> I know I am always talking about this and I know I don't make sense.
> Part of the problem is simply not knowing what is going on. Leadership in a

> I don't what happened but I am just as much to be blamed as anyone else. I

> Please don't ban the game players because most of them are attached to a
