East Kingdom, Crown List is out!

It's here and has consorts

This is not in specific Order of Precedence yet.

The dukes, counts, etc., are all group together, but they are not ordered.

I will undoebtedly have some thoughts later.

#3 - As a formal Crown Tourney herald (in Ealdormere, but I suspect it applies in the East as well), knowing the list of fighters beforehand allows the list staff to do whatever they need to do to run a smooth list. This could include any or or all of the following:
--prepping cards with the fighters' names on them that are used to announce the bouts. Our list table here in Ealdormere pairs the cards together for each bout so that the list herald can make the announcements.
--prepping a shield tree or other visual "this is how the tourney is going" device
--having the names ready for the random draws that set up the lists themselves--either the first sets of pairings, or the order down the page and across for a round robin.

As troubadour herald i can honestly say that having these 18 days to prep the cards, and practice pronunciation is a wonderful thing.

We don't have a shield tree, but that's a good project for later on down the road.

The East's first round is usually a challenge-in, so the MoLs have to work their butts off for the initial round's ordering and seeding.

We've had shield trees.

MASSIVE P.I.T.A. for insufficient value, judging from how these projects fall by the wayside.
