Hey, John, I looked for the Murray Lion icon that gave me the board, but
it's not in the Alfaerie: Many piece set, so I did the best I could.
There is a specific icon for this piece, but it's a double-guard piece
with a gray band around its top. It would look terrible with the other
pieces. 

As far as changing its move, well, the lion is the king of the jungle, and
this piece is the most powerful in the game. It's not the fastest, or the
strongest, but over all, it's the best. Using the suggested movement for
the piece, reducing it to one of the crowd, would be as thematically wrong
as using the double-guard piece in the preset would be. 

Now, this last part is just for fun, and concerns my comments and game
rules.  :-)

Just as a general question, why would a name be important in a design
contest? One might hope games would be judged on merit then. Each would be
approached without preconceptions.
John, my name is buried here and there. One has only to look in the right
places to see it. You may also figure it out from the game design. Check
the basic elements, and don't forget to look for random clues. Enjoy! ;-)
