[tirrigh-heralds] L'Etoile d'Argent renaming

[Quentin Martel]

This is another in the series of award name conversations. This time - the
Etoile d'Argent.
 
This award conflicts directly with the Silver Star of Trimaris. Differnt
language, but the exact same meaning means no dice on passing it. We don't
want to conflict with another branch's award at all, but to conflict with a
Kingdom award is really bad.
 
Our last discussions on this had a strong desire for a french theme and
Lumiere du Nord was the favorite. But as we see below, it fails the
documentation test.
 
So what other options are there?
 
Please discuss!

The Lumiere du Nord. I can find no medieval example of an order that has a
direction included in it. Also, I remember the problems we had when we
wanted to have our Principality called "The North". Laurel Soverign of Arms
ruled it conflicted with the North of the American Civil War. Lumiere is
perfectly plausible and we could, as I mentioned call it the Lumiere of
TirRigh as there are many examples medievally to support this type of name.
We could try to define it with a colour such as the Lumiere Or then all we
would have to do is define what the lumiere is, a candle? a torch? etc. I
also suggest the "Order of the Light Bearer" which can be documented by the
"The Sword Bearers" Livonia, 1201CE.
