So, a few thoughts:Lizard, you seem really quite cross with the name and appear to think it too evocative of a wuxia feeling from Hong Kong cinema, in which a martial arts move doesn't actually have to make sense. If I may then, perhaps a name change could help you connect better with the power, particularly if your game is set in a setting themed around Medieval France.While still following the colour/animal theme, how would you feel about Argent Lion Onslaught? I must admit I'm unfamiliar with heraldry, but the lion has long been not only a symbol of power and authority but also cunning and leadership. White and argent were argued to be interchangeable on heraldic tinctures (or so tells me Wikipedia) but argent was meant to symbolize silver, heavenly bodies and the moon. In this regard the argent symbolism functions based around the idea that the Warlord's tactics fit into the background: he himself doesn't appear to be doing much but his actions are necessary, just like the pull of the moon creating the tides, to survive on the field of battle. You can then present the Argent Lion school within your world as a place where aspiring military leaders train and base it around the Master Tactician... Tactic (I lack a better word). The school could be a well known place where the finest men and women come to be trained in military greatness, and their standard could be a silver lion on a field of red (representing the mastery of military tactics and leadership over the savagery of war).Hope that helps a bit.</blockquote>
