• How can I get an AA for my friend?

Other thoughts

• Court Baronies used to come with an AA; do they still?
  • This is a weird subject across the SCA. We have an answer that pertains to An Tir only at http://www.antirheralds.org/awards/OP/law.html :
    • 23. The phrase "comes with an Award of Arms" means that the award is equal in precedence to an Award of Arms. The phrase "comes with a Grant of Arms" means that the award is equal in precedence to a Grant of Arms.
    • 23a. The precedence of any award can be changed by Kingdom Law.
    • Kingdom Law overrode the AoA designation, so now Court Baronies are above AoAs, but below Grants. - Quentin Martel
