On Citizens, Municipalities and Cities
One becomes a subject of H.A.M. the King by taking the Oath
of Recognition, either in writing or before an officer authorized to witness
such oaths. The regional leaders listed below will, upon request from a person
or persons who have already taken the Oath, issue warrants giving such authority;
residents of areas not listed should contact His Grace,The
Duke of Minhiriath, the Lord Great Steward. Local groups of subjects of
six or more can be chartered as municipalities (through their regional leaders)
or cities (through the Steward), the difference being that cities generally
have more members and are permitted to elect representatives to the biennial
Councils-General.
