The Barony
What is a Barony?
A barony is an Amtgard chapter larger than a Shire and smaller than a Duchy. Generally average attendance for a Barony would be around fifteen to twenty people on a weekly basis. A barony must hold an average attendance of 15-20 people during a six month period in order to retain it's status.
What can a Barony do?
A Barony is typically allowed to give ladder awards up to the 4th level. A barony is not allowed to bestow titles of nobility.
Leadership
The elected leader of a Barony is a Baron, or the feminine Baroness. Other offices that may or may not be filled due to the needs of the park are Baronial Regent Baronial Prime Minister or Chancellor and Baronial Champion. Most of these offices are voted on, with the exception of the Baronial Champion, who is chosen by right of arms.
