We just got this email and I wanted to see (only for a very SHORT time 
what the rest of you thought about the idea.

Unter their Most Gracious Majesties Logan and Arielle, King and Queen of
Atlantia,
Greeting from XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Your Majesties -

The following was gleaned from the Eastrealm post.  The writer, Mistress
Orianna, is the current Seneschale of the Principality of AEthelmaerc.  I
think the idea presented here is a very interesting one, worthy of
consideration.
