[ANSTHRLD] Zodiacus weighs in on this week's award discussions

[Alden Drake]

Ok, then perhaps what is causing some confusion with the Sable Shield is the
fact that in the July 2004 Black Star, on page 17 is the "Charter for the
Award of the Sable Shield of Ansteorra".  It does say that it is created by
edict, but it identifies it as a "non-armigerous award".  In my book that
would put it at a precedence level 20 award.

I thought an edict was only valid during the reign of a particular Crown,
and was not carried into Kingdom Law.  If that is the case, then it sounds
to me like the Sable Shield was a non-armigerous award that was created
during Miguel's and Conal's reign, and then automatically closed upon their
stepping down.
