    Um, what kind of ceremony involves a flail?

      Rather than a specific ceremony, flails were sometimes carried as symbols of office. Think of it like the ceremonial mace some legislations’ sergeant-at-arms carries.

        That makes way more sense than anything I was coming up with. Thanks!
