  I, for one, would like to see our Regional champions be leaders of the
Region. Our fighting Champions should be a war-leader, and our artistic
Champions be teachers and instructors and an example to the artisans,
craftsmen, and performers of our Region. 
  I feel that this would be for the betterment of our Region and our
Kingdom. We have enough ceremonial titles and honors already, let us
instead make this a role with duties worthy of the best our Region has
to offer.
