[Artemisia] Honoring lost loved ones

If I may make a suggestion, first of all extending condolences to the loved ones of Dahhaid...our family's thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.  

My suggestion for honouring those who have fallen is this: a ceremony that uses their heraldry.  We hang their devices, arms, or something that the family/friends/household would feel represents their loved one at an event.  Then, (depending on culture or preference) we hang either white or black shrouds around them.  Obviously this wouldn't be all, but this is all I've got at the moment.  I understand from some of my readings that draping armoury in black crepe in the later periods was done.  Anyway, my two cents.

Again, our condolences!
