When the army of Lyonesse rides into battle, the Duke's standard bearer holds aloft the famous Banner of Lyonesse, an embroidered, four hundred year old tapestry depicting the hero Thierulf, wearing his trademark lion pelt, standing atop a pile of dead greenskins, his head surrounded by a halo of light. It is a revered artefact rumoured to have the hair of Elven princesses woven into its design, and it is said that no army fighting under it has ever lost.[1]
