Region of Calontir
See also the Baron Geoffri of Wareine Interview
Brocke
I was around for a great deal of putting Calontir together (I was the 12th member of the Shire of Three Rivers). And so, I remember a few things. If you read the long interview link (Baron Geoffri of Wareine Interview), you will find Geoffri talking about "baby steps." This is not how I viewed the matter, although we worked well together. My concept was that, if you wanted to convince the Board of Directors (who could outrank the Crown of the Middle if it wanted to) that you should be made a Principality, and you don't have hardly any peers, then what you should do is set up a structure that is exactly like a Principality, but not official. That was the Region. Officially, as Geoffri notes, the only existence that Calontir had was that there was a Deputy Seneschal to the Middle Kingdom Senescal, for the Region of Calontir, whatever that was. That was it. We didn't even have legal boundaries; just a deputy to the Kingdom seneschal for an unnamed and undefined thing called the "Region of Calontir." The only real differences between the Region and a Principality was that Regional awards were not official when we were giving them out, and we didn't require a fighter to have a prospective consort to enter CalonTourney, where the winner would become the Champion for a few months, and then would become Warlord. We did have a rule that you could not succeed yourself, which is why Brummbar didn't win all of those tourneys.
