[Steppes] Baronial Succession Pages and Polling form

[Hrldsmn@aol.com]

Not that I feel it applies to our case with the candidates at hand, but you 
can have no Baron/ess and still be a barony by becoming a Crown Barony, where 
the King and Queen function as the nobles. While this seems to have some stigma 
attached to it for some reason in Ansteorra it is used in other kingdoms to 
good advantage when a group doesn't select from the candidates offered or there 
are no acceptable candidates available.
