[Steppes] To the Steppes

[letebts at earthlink.net]

The Steppes Letter Editor has my permission to print what I just posted for
my persona's history. If anyone is collecting persona histories for the
barony or the kingdom records, permission is also given to include it in an
official collection if I am notified who has it and where it is stashed.
