	* '''What is the history behind the kid's toy chest in court? When did that start? Why?'''		* '''What is the history behind the kid's toy chest in court? When did that start? Why?'''
	** Explanation: The children's toy chest being presented to the children of Atlantia is a long-standing tradition of Royal, and many Baronial, courts. At some point, usually, early in the court, the children will be called forward along with a member of the populace bringing a big toy box. When given the signal, the person with the toy chest will run out of court with all of the children in pursuit. Each child is allowed to select a toy from the chest.		** Explanation: The children's toy chest being presented to the children of Atlantia is a long-standing tradition of Royal, and many Baronial, courts.

	** History: At some point in the past ~~(probably around 1996/97)~~ there was a playful exchange of pranks between Duke Logan and Duke Anton. In response to some long-forgotten jab, Logan and Arielle acquired 100 stuffed toy chickens and had children draw on them with the chequey pattern (as seen on Anton's arms). They then charged him with the task of giving them out to children which inspired him at every event. The practice of honoring our Kingdom's youth took hold in the form described above and has persisted for decades now.		** History: At some point in the past there was a playful exchange of pranks between Duke Logan and Duke Anton.

	** This is a tradition that is as old as the SCA itself. The general idea is that it is a show of support, usually a Lord showing support for their Lady. This practice has evolved over time and now it is not uncommon to enter court alone, nor is it uncommon for friends to escort friends, etc. The most important thing to remember is to not assume that someone 'needs' an escort and take that duty upon yourself. Give the person being called into court the respect of presenting themselves. Friends, relatives, and loved ones will know when offering this honor is appropriate.		** This is a tradition that is as old as the SCA itself.
