Tyger of the East

[msmemory_archive]

I'm still speechless. It's an honor I dreamt of deserving in another 15 or 20 years. I feel like I should post something profound, or at least witty, and I'm not managing either one. And it's illustrious company to live up to. Wow.

More congratulations!

Are you given/allowed special regalia, aside from the joy of the populace around your shoulders?

Thanks!
Harold von Auerbach was given a collar of estate with tyger plaques, but as far as I know that was a personal gift to him.

Julien de la Pointe has made "things" for several of the Tygers (Harold's collar; Ernst's ring; I think something for Randal) - in each case I believe they were gifts from the Crown and/or from the recipeint's family/friends.

I hadn't known about the other Tygers' gifts. (Julien makes such extraordinary stuff!) But the award itself doesn't come with any automatic regalia, either a hereditary item to be used til the next award, or a traditional standard item such as a pendant, brooch, or cloak.
