This is because I did so many scrolls for the Principality of the Sun over several reigns it was actually beginning to be embarrasing in court that most of the scrolls given out had my name on the back.{We usually do 'blank' award scrolls for frequently given awards} I have my own Solar Phoenix, Solar Heart,and Commander of the Solar Phoenix. *But* they wouldn't let me do my own Laurel scroll. Which is just as well, I was too busy at the time to have had it finished in time. However, I never got a final AoA scroll, and I thought about doing my own, but it didn't really feel right, so, when my apprentice is ready to make that leap, I think I will ask her. Personally, I don't think it makes a lot of difference, sort of a personal decision here. Though I also think it's a little bit like Royalty doing the jobs that their court is supposed to be doing.
