[MR] Fall Coronation

[J. C. Smith ispán]

Hi there,

I am reminded of a story from history.  When the Count of Thuringia wanted to 
build his castle (the Wartburg, near Eisenach), he brought a wagonfull of dirt 
with him.  He had his men dump in on the ground, then build his castle there.  
When he was challenged later by his lord, he replied honestly "the castle is 
built on my own land."

The event bid submitted in another Kingdom is actually in Sylvan Glen, which
is between Highland Foorde and Abhain Iarthair (Canton of Stierbach). There
have been Atlantian courts held at this event before (Siege of Glengary) and
many of the people in Sylvan Glen come to Atlantian events as they are
closer to us than to many of their own Kingdom's events. I just wanted to
put some perspective on that aspect of things.

The only thing that would be amiss about having Coronation there is that
technically it's not on "Atlantian" soil - but as I said many of that group
do come to Atlantian events (including WoW, among other, more local events).
I personally wouldn't mind seeing them join Atlantia - then they wouldn't
have to drive through a different Kingdom to get to their own events, and we
wouldn't have to drive through another Kingdom to get to events in the
western central region from Highland Foorde.

Just my opinion.
