We have to keep in mind that Black Diamond isn't that large. At Games
Tourney IX last year, I sat with around 12? gentles from Black Diamond
at the feast, out of 80 gentles total. I ran into numerous BDers at
University, and BD was the only group that sent seneschals to the
Northern Concerns meeting after University. Given Black Diamond's
size, they send quite a few gentles to Isenfir events.

Right-o, and so it's safe to say that Isenfir would prefer "no
principality" as its first answer... if other groups decide to form
one, we may or may not join in, to avoid being on the wrong side of
the border, but the entire concept of a Principality fills us with
dread.
