Congratulations to all. Perhaps someone in MK would be kind enough to humor me and answer question of mine that I've had for a while. The Royalty -- Lords, system is clear enough, I am rather confused as to the Baron's though. Is there one Baron for every Lord, who in essence serves as a deputy? That was my impression, and yet when I became more active on the MK boards there seemed to be a fair number of Barons, or perhaps my math skills fail

The barons are essentially deputies. The lord can either choose to just put in a deputy-at-large, covering the entire department, or divide it into subsets and assign a baron to each. It depends entirely on the needs of the Lord. I think all of us have two barons each at the moment.
