[Ansteorra] Vigils for White Scarves

[gail young]

If I am correct in my thinking, this was held after the award was actually given.
  Once again, I may be wrong and probably should have just kept my mouth shut<G>

believe it is usually given instantly, with no advanced notification. 
None of the white scarves I know have ever mentioned sitting vigil, and 
none of the awards I saw with my own eyes included a vigil.

per the OP, I understand that a white scarf is equal in rank to the 
centurion, and they do not traditionally hold vigil either. (again, the 
recipient is usually given all of thirty seconds warning before the 
cloak is thrown over his shoulders.)

I'm sure their has been exceptions to the rule, but I am fairly 
confident that Vigils in Anstorra are popularly considered to be acts 
reserved for pending knights, laurels or pelicans.
