A blacksmith ringing out on his anvil "Buy my swords." Is a different situation than when the blacksmith rings out "All Swords muster at the square. Enemies Approach."

"This one was felled by Makon of Enfrewstead. He fought well and Makon signed his work."
What if Swordspeech was a sound like Death Light is a sight.
This is, after all, Glorantha. When things don't make sense, make 'em big and important!
