Artorus said that he would do it if no one else put in for it
it does not mean that he has filled out the paperwork or
put in a bid...there is a lot more to becoming a steward
than just saying that you'd take it if no one else does...

Artorus is just place holding...He does not want the job...he gave it up
because he didn't want it...he's not going to want to be responsible for
it for long...

All too true...but our priorities at the moment are the Seneschal, the Steward
for the fall event and the herald's position...

I don't know if it will help but I "took action" and sent something to
the Kingdom Treasurer asking if scheduling could be switched so that
people could take both classes...I'm trying to be proactive in my old age

also true...
