	Pendaran here:

	One of the reasons for all of the lion based names and armory is
simply that the lion was in the medieval period, and still is many
modern circles, considered the most noble and courageous member of the
animal kingdom. Lions have always represented majesty, prowess, courage
and other fine qualities, and many people wish to have these qualities
represent the region.
