Yes, I would think so, I just wonder who started this custom.

But, according to KoS the ritual was spoiled or are you speaking of another LBQ ?

Again I disagree, she is a better warrior though an unlucky (Battle of Queens) than HQer. But what I see as her achievement is to unity of the tribes. She was the one who forged Sartar again.

Yes you are right, she actually doesn't _need_ it but it helps a lot. I dislike any mechanics for such things since they never encourage storytelling.

Again you win, the Flame burned brightly after Argrath's coronation.
Perhaps someone had some bronze which was left from the original brazier
who knows ? But at last Argrath's sword is something special since it is
mentioned in KoS p.156 : "Argrath stood tall, holding aloft his sacret
sword,and prayed to Orlanth..."
