Here in Windmasters Hill, there seems some movement toward substituting Event
Steward for Autocrat. Gatekeeper (or gate) is replacing troll. Hall Steward
seems common. Cook is gaining ground. I've heard people correct those that
said feastocrat. Since we've made that much progress, I don't beleive tossing
out a replacement for the replacement just now would be good PR. 

At Cossacks, Mongols & Huns they Ataman (sp?) for Autocrat and other vaguely
eastern terms for the others, at least in the flyer. I forget what all they
used and can't find the out of date Windlore that I usually find when wanting
a new one.  That's the only event I've known that did anything like that.
