Baron of Loblaw

The title Baron of Loblaw - or as it is frequently rendered, Baron Loblaw or Lord Loblaw- is a landless title in the Stormwind Peerage, established in mid-626KY. Its current - and thus far, only - holder is the eccentric Lord Bob Loblaw, a resident of Stormwind City.
==History==
One of the newest titles in the Kingdom, the barony was granted as part of the ennobling of the bourgeois Bob Loblaw, a barrister in Stormwind City known for his claim of being the best lawyer of any stripe in the Eastern Kingdoms and for his significant wealth. Lord Loblaw made his coffers available to the Throne to support the war effort, arming several regiments with top-rate equipment and funding the purchase of two additional attack gyrocopters for the nascent Stormwind Air Corps's rotary section. In return, the Crown saw fit to ennoble him with a hereditary title. Rumour has it that the scandalous 'purchase' of title was precipitated by a low-ranking noble remarking to the then-commoner that his opinion in politics held no worth due to his station; out of sheer spite, Bob Loblaw exploited his position of familiarity to the Crown and much of the aristocracy, leveraging much of his significant wealth to acquire title that very night. Reportedly, he returned to that noble the next day, bearing letters patent with a herald ahead of him carrying his quickly assembled banner and announcing his presence, and firmly repeated his opinion.
