[Dragaera] The Lyorn's Horn

[Steve Rapaport]

New one is nicer, but now looks recognizably like a greyhound, with no trace
of horsiness.   And the horn is so narrow at the base it looks like a
greyhound being stabbed in the head.

I like the slicker look and the colors, though an auburn red in there
somewhere seems appropriate.
