Not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing because I don't know the head from the tail

My guess is descending order.

It recycles things that were just used, there's got to be something thematically related to that!

I like tea house - provides respite and prepares the card for another go. But that doesn't feel like it works in all cases (ie treasure).

Maybe Channel as an alternative? Rinse the card off and use it again, or send it back upstream, and you can use it to navigate (plus they are often manmade).

Alternatively, some form of location you can observe from, like a hilltop manor.

In English nobility, the order goes: Duke Marquess Earl Viscount Baron (Do Men Ever Visit Boston).  So perhaps Earl or Viscount would work (Marquess looks like Margrave).

FTFY. I thought it was funny that you gave it a mnemonic, and then put them in the wrong order.

Here are a few other name ideas I came up with after searching for types of territory in Medieval times here.

Benefice - A grant of land given to a member of the aristocracy, a Bishop, or a monastery, for limited or hereditary use in exchange for services. (The "exchange for services" seems to fit in thematically with the card's on-gain effect of top-decking a card in play) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefice

Demesne (pronounced di-MAYN) - The part of the lord's manorial lands which was retained for his own use and support, not allocated to his serfs or freeholder tenants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demesne

Manor - A small holding, typically 1200-1800 acres, with its own court and probably its own hall, but not necessarily having a manor house. Generally held by a knight or managed by a bailiff. (This would tie in thematically with the "Great Hall" card) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manor

How about Beach?

-It suggests a parallel with Island, which is a somewhat related card.
-Like a tea house, a beach can be a place of respite.
-Things wash up on the beach. You could find a used action card, or even lost treasure.
-There should be a ton of options for artwork.

Hmmm... I thought I clicked the box that allowed people to change their vote.  Time to enact a drastic change.  Complete vote reset!

Benefice is the most appropriate of the suggestions so far.

Is this "Tea House" now, or something else, or are we leaving it "Herald"?  Ultimately it's up to you, shark_bait, so let me know what you like best.

I demand a recount.  I would pay good money for any expansion card with the title "The Whim Of Captain Frisk"

Huzzah!  Even if I don't win any future contests, I can now say that I contributed to the fan expansion. :D

How so?  Why the necro?

As I recall, there was a fan card named Herald that won a design contest and was subsequently renamed to better match its Victory typing.

If I recall correctly, Earl is a title essentially equivalent to Count. (The title for the wife of either is Countess.)

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.
