[Hartwood] Hartwood Champions? Seneshcal would like to open debate

[doerksen at island.net]

Greetings from Halima.

I like the idea of having Champions. I also like Cecille's idea of  
having 3 types of A&S Champions just as there are 3 types of Fighting  
Champions.

In our branch's history we have acknowledged accomplishments, such as  
the Stag Tags for the fighters and (later established in Cragmere) the  
Swan's Guard. These were not Champions, yet they still gave a certain  
something to those who trained and outfitted themselves (and, in the  
case of the Swan's Guard, evinced some of the more noble qualities we  
all aspire to).

I vote, "yes!"

Halima
