Experiences--------
Greetings Tir Righ, I was deeply humbled and honored this Tir Righ Coronet with the granting of senior member status in The Order of the Pernicious Lily.
This Membership (not award) is given for extremely entertaining "death throes" upon the field of combat. This order was founded in the early days of the principality of An Tir by Sir Edward Zifran of Gendy, 'The Bastard'." He was, and continues in the East Kingdom, to be the Most Senior Member of the Order.
This is an order founded many many many years ago that recognized and encouraged the desire to have deaths upon the field be entertaining and pleasing for the spectators. All tourney fighters of whichever discipline often need to remember that our 'sports' are a spectator experience and everyone can always use an extra smile.
I was blessed to be a very young man (or child) long after this order was founded to grow up watching some of the most amazing deaths upon the field. I can only say that I found it profoundly inspiring. To me this was an amazing example of honor and dignity upon the field. When your opponent 'kills' you I have come to personally feel that the quality of the death that you give them shows them a deep respect for their prowess on the field. I will continue to strive to show this personal form of respect to all of my opponents in all tournaments if they best me.
