Having been through this once or twice (principalities forming, 
principality to Kingdom) I would suggest that this is one of the 
critical sentences: "You will be my friends and welcome at my hearth 
regardless." Please do not allow the zeal with which you uphold your 
cause turn your friends to enemies.

As a newcomer to the Kingdom I have no opinion about the wisdom, or lack 
thereof, of a new principality. I do know that the campaign for one can 
be both a uniting force and a divisive one. If you focus on unity there 
will be fewer problems along the way.
