What about the Order of Precedence?

One problem with the current notion of creating yet another Peerage is that the members of it will perpetually have lower precedence than people who participate in martial arts that were recognized earlier (except for those who are already Peers in another order). Archery in the East Kingdom, for example, predates fencing, but since the Order of Defense was created first the fencers are higher in the pecking order. (And of course all of them, even the fencers, will be behind heavy fighters whose distinctions may have been earned much later.)

I still think the correct solution would have been to force the Chivalry to accept people from all martial arts rather than create the Order of Defense. But that ship sailed a while ago, and it would have had to be rammed past the resistance of a lot of the Chivalry. Right now I think that expanding the Order of Defense to additional martial arts would be a better solution than creating yet another peerage.

But then I also think that we have way too many awards, and that we should instead have more encompassing ones and fewer levels of awards. For one thing, fewer awards would mean less time spent in court, which I would see as a big step in the right direction. (I also think that we should dissolve the monarchy and become an autonomous collective, but I know that idea isn't going to fly.)
