Ooooooh yes.  The Middle is dissecting the dragon at a
furious pace: I can think of Barb, Claw, Scale, and Heart
without any work.

But let's go thru the various practical and impractical
ideas for names and armory before I tell everyone why a
p-word or kingdom shouldn't have more awards than you can
count on two hands (Anne Boleyn excluded) and should
probably have much fewer and why an explosion of awards just
reeks.
