Eep! I swear I won't whine about my backlog scroll. It could be much much worse. hrj just got her Laurel scroll from 25 years ago!

Wow - I think my most backlogged dates from 18 years ago. She's got me beat!

Well, the West is like that; one of those vicious cycles. Getting a scroll isn't part of an award, so the scribes (and their work) aren't regularly noticed, so few people become scribes, so scrolls aren't made, etc.

I'm glad she's getting one, though. She is a good teacher.

We've just commissioned a friend's Laurel scroll - he got the award November of 1988.

The West Kingdom's backlog is pretty big, but with, at one time, four Principalities (although Lochac has taken responsibility for their award scrolls, including ones given by the King and Queen of the West), it's bound to be. There are only so many scribes out there.

That said, the current Chancellor here has done wonders in trying to reduce the backlog, as have her predecessors ... so it's something. I actually have several of my scrolls, so I am not too worried about the others (I think I am still owed three).

At least you know about the award. I wasn't told I'd been made a court baron until almost a year after the fact.

Granted, it was from Atenveldt, and done after I moved to the East in order to provide support to my position as ambassador to the East based on an aspect of Atenveldt kingdom law, but you'd think someone would have thought to tell me about it at the time.

I owe a few really old ones, such as Thora Sharptooth's Laurel.

I thought I had an unbeatable record. At Coronation, I was informed that my Silver Crescent scroll had turned up and was being finished. Can you say "December of 1989"??
