Does Yorick use Ornn's Spade?

So I was just reading Ornn's short story when I saw this quote:

> Ornn, meanwhile, realized he did not like people asking him favors, and threw his spade as far to the west as he could. Where it landed, no one knows, and its fate is lost to darkness.

Basically, I made an immediate connection to Yorick, which is probably jumping to conclusions. But when I saw "its fate lost to darkness." I imagined that that's what happened. Yorick used the shovel and had it when the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles.

While I do wonder the fate of Ornn's spade, I don't believe the Shadow Isles are west of the Freljord. They're near Bilgewater from what I understand, but I could be wrong, which is definitely south of the Freljord.

Yorick belonged to an order that all held spears before the ruination, they might have taken inspiration from it but to say its the same one might be a bit far-fetch.

Depends how big Ornn is, a shovel to a giant could be a person's roof.

Why would the Brotherhood of the Dawn give Yorick, someone they didn't respect btw, a shovel of potentially ancient origins? The BotD's shovels were just tools of their religious order, but the tool in of itself is no more significant then the cloth ancient Egyptians used for mummification. It has sentimental value and thats about it.

And its been pointed out already but the Blessed Isles is not in the west! That's the opposite direction, furthest away from the isles. That alone sould have been the give away.
