In Atlantia, the feeling seems to be that, as we are the "voice of the Crowns" to
our people, that ranking/power passes directly from the Crowns to the Barons.  At
least this is what we've been given to understand in a situation that we've
recently dealt with.

Yup, that's what I've had to do.  But they did let me cook Festival of Kites
because no one else in the Barony knew how to do oriental food!  So maybe that's
how we get around it...get your group to do a feast that only you can cook...
