I think that's roughly what I meant. "Autocrat" and "feastocrat" were
once common here, along with remove, but are now rare, having been
actively discouraged in favour of "steward", "cook", and "course".
"Troll" and "eric" are also becoming less common. I think this has come
about partly due to encouragement from council/officers/etc. and partly
due to the relative insularity of the Eastern Isles of Lochac.
