Friends, I feel I must add some thoughts to this issue.

Ponte Alto is actually one of the smallest baronies in the 
kingdom.  We have Arlington County, and most of Fairfax 
County - not even two full counties worth.  I will be the 
first to recognize that land mass is not the only issue, we 
also have traffic to consider.  I was born in Fairfax 
County, I've lived here my entire life; I understand.

I've also traveled to every group in this kingdom, even 
Border Vale Keep in Augusta, GA.  The people who live in 
the larger baronies - Windmasters' Hill, Stierbach, etc - 
understand that traveling for their "local" activities is 
not only necessary but rewarding.  Wouldn't it serve our 
newcomers better to encourage them to experience more of 
the hospitality and energy of this barony by traveling to 
multiple locations?  If not, who is to determine what 
locale best serves all of the populace?

Lady Melissent has opened her home to the advancement of 
the arts, and from the reports I've gotten, meetings at her 
home have been enjoyable and valuable.  It would be sad to 
not be able to allow her to share her hospitality with the 
barony's newcomers based upon her location within our two-
county barony.
