Greetings, Your Excellency. Your research sounds fascinating, and I'd love to hear more of it. I think it's important to periodically look into trends among awards lower than Peerages and how they corroborate with their Patent-level equivalents, particularly in areas that seem particularly heavy in one Peerage Order or another, and figure out whether there's a connection, what it is, and why it is.
This discussion has revealed that in Caid there is a plethora of service-related award recommendations given to the Crown, but few to the Order of the Pelican, and though relatively few combat- or arts-related award recommendations go to the Crown, their numbers are more in keeping with the corresponding number of recommendations that go to the Orders of Chivalry and the Pelican, respectively (in the Chivalry's case, it seems like more letters are written for potential knights than for potential AoA- or GoA-level fighters).
It also revealed a widely-held belief by Caidans that service in the kingdom is all but ignored, which may account partially for the disproportionate amount of letters written for service awards (presumably by people who wish to rectify the perceived discrepancy).
