In Atlantia a Grant of Arms is worth more than a Court Baroncy.  I know a
fellow that is in the game for the awards and has recently shot himself in
the foot by manuvering for a Grant of Arms thinking he could then get a
Court Baroncy.  When he found out he couldn't get it cuz it was a lower
award he went nuts!  It was great!!  I just cann't stand those kind of
folks.
