[NS-Heralds] Littany cards

[bronwyn at tds.net]

I'm OK with the Crown bit, but how about

"Do honor to the one whose honor and nobility inspires you this day.
"Pay heed to ..."

I prefer the marshal instruction to be a real command.  Or was that a typo?

I like the call to the list.

But for the honors, I prefer:

Pay homage to the Crown of Northshield
Do Honor to the one who inspires you this Day
Salute you noble and worthy opponent
Pray, Heed the marshals

With and occasional reminder that the winner is to report to the list table.
