   The Medieval bits are a given, you are the 
figurehead and have to act
   in a manner that brings honor and glory to the 
Barony while you are
   acting as Baron/ess.
<p>
   On the Mundane side:
   The Baron/ess is the voice of those who for 
whatever reason do not feel
   represented by the council.  As a figurehead 
some 
people will approach
   you who will not otherwise approach others.  You 
act as a lighting rod for
   complaints and kudos.   It is your duty to speak 
up for those people.
<p>
   It is also your duty to address the Council or 
the 
Sceneshal if you see
   them about to do something that would reflect 
badly on the Barony.  Once
   you have spoken up, it is then your duty to step 
aside and let the
   Sceneshal and the Council do as they please.
<p>
   It is your duty to approve events and to make 
every effort to attend all
   Baronial events/councils and a reasonable 
sampling 
of guildmeetings so that
   all Baronial members have the opportunity to 
approach you.
