[tirrigh-heralds] Lightning Spear discussion

[Laura Offley]

I kind of like this idea. There is great confusion in the principality 
in regards to the difference between the Silver Spear and the Shattered 
Spear. I have had to explain it many times. While I like Shattered Spear 
(and that's what the regalia is - the old spear that was physically 
broken in court at Tir Righ's first Coronet Tournament and a short 
length of it was given to the most ferocious fighter) if it can't pass, 
then I think we need to ditch the spear reference altogether.

(I see alot of symbolism in the last one)
