[Sca-cooks] Re: Having Arms - OT

[Michael Newton]

You get an actual physical letter stating this, Mine passed in July and I
didn't even hear about it from the group herald where I sent it in. Moved
away while waiting the two years for it go from Kingdom to Laurel.
(Paperwork snafu in Calontir)  Would Only know it passed by reading the
Archived Laurel letters.
