Lord Alaric Luther sends greetings! 

I am one of the Northern folk that stands with Lord Julian in support 
of Northern *Principality*, Stilhavn. I would NOT support an effort  
to rush forward and try to become a Kingdom. To me, as Seneschal of 
Stierbach, I believe the region is clearly not ready to be a Kingdom. 
But, I also believe that it is overdue for elevation to a 
*Principality*.

What I would like to comment on, is my concern for the recurring 
theme, of stating what other *unnamed* people say, "Various peers and 
others in a position to know" was the phrase used in the note above. 

I believe we should voice our own opinions. Sure, listen to what 
other people say, collect other peoples views, and be persuaded by 
the power of informed opinions that are based on fact, and not 
emotion alone. 

*I* believe Stilhavn, as a *Principality*, will add to the glory of 
Atlantia. *I* believe it will make a more powerful, honorable, 
viable, interesting, Kingdom of Atlantia. YMMV.

In Service,
Lord Alaric Luther
Atlantian
