[Scriptoris] a question about a charter

[M TURNAGE]

Zubeydah,

Although I did not design the Golden Lance you are referring to, nor have I 
seen it; but the heraldic description does sound a lot like the Star of 
Merit.

Here's a description of the award:
Order of the Golden Lance: given, in consultation with members of the order, 
for exceptional skill, leadership, and honor on the equestrian field, for 
service to the kingdom and its people, knowledge of the courtly graces, and 
consistent respect for the laws and customs of the kingdom. Companions of 
the order are entitled to place the initials CGL after their names, to be 
addressed with the title "Lancer", and to wear a ribbon sable edged Or 
charged with a lance Or on either the calf or above the elbow. They may 
display on their tournament lances a pennon bearing the badge of the order: 
(fieldless) on a mullet of five greater and five lesser points sable, a 
lance Or.

In service,
Ceinwen~
