[Steppes] Warlord XXX - Thoughts on Change

[Charlie Ribron II]

I believe Warlord is a theme unto it's self. This next one more then ever
since it will be the XXX. I think if someone wants to add a theme here it
sould be a color or a baronial concept.
With this being a baronial list we should sent back and forth ideas to use.
Like we should do more for Children, the Equestrains or what I'm starting to
get back into Rapier.
