THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED:

ANSTEORRA

Aleric Ironleg. Device. Gules, a leg in armor couped at the knee within a bordure Or.

Draw the bordure wider. Versus Charles of Mercury, Gules, a human foot couped Or, sandaled sable and winged at the foot argent, there is a CVD for the addition of the bordure, and another for the removal of the very prominent wings.

Cassandra Palfrey. Name.

Charles of Greenfield. Name and device. Per fess vert and Or, a sun counterchanged within a bordure potenty sable.

Clare Isibéal Séadhachán. Name and badge for House of the Copper Braid. [Fieldless] A billet invected on the long sides gules.

Dietrich von Dahn. Name.

Gerrod Allana Mac Ruari. Name.

Gerrod does not seem to be an unreasonable spelling variant of Gerrad.

Gwyneth ferch Morien. Name.

Ivar Rúnamagi. Name.

Submitted as Ivar Rûnmagi, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. A pattern of usage of similar epithets in Norse, particularly Hrísmagi ("brushwood stomach"), lends credence to this formation. It was pointed out, however, that Orramagi ("scarbelly") would have been much more likely.

Lucius Valentyn Drake. Name and device. Sable, on a chevron between three fool's caps Or three gunstones, all within a bordure Or.
Nice armory, particularly when seen with that submitted by Nicholas Drake below.

Melania of the Three Needles. Name.

Mikhail Nicolaevitch Andronikov. Name and device. Or, a pall sable, overall a lion's head cabossed gules all within a bordure sable.

Submitted as Mikhail Nicoliovitch Andronikov, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. The transliteration as submitted of the patronymic was not reasonable, combining as it did two different transliteration systems in a single name element, which serves only to distort the pronunciation. Note on device: given that tenné is one of the standard heraldic stains, we believe that it should be granted the same difference from Or and gules as purpure is from gules and azure. Thus, this proposal is clear of the US XVIII Corps with CVDs for the addition of the overall charge and the change to the field.

Nanette Rochelle. Name.
Several commenters questioned whether or not the given is a period name. Barring strong evidence that it is not, we felt it best to give the submitter the benefit of the doubt.

Nicholas Drake. Name and device. Sable, on a chevron between three hawks' heads erased Or three gunstones, all within a bordure Or.
Versus Beale (Papworth, p. 527), Sable, on a chevron between three griffins heads erased Or as many mullets of the first. There is a CVD for the addition of the bordure and a second for the difference between griffin's heads and eagle's heads. (Lord Laurel, when he was still Obelisk Pursuivant, also questioned granting difference between eagle's heads and griffin's head. It was pointed out to him at that time by a number of commenters that the two were indeed different. [Having been stepped on then, he's not going to get out of line now.])

Ragnar Einarsson. Name.

Ross Blackwood. Name and device. Vert, on a plate an oak tree eradicated sable, a base argent.

Nice device.

Roxanne Alexandria Tremayne. Name.

Sara O'Raghailligh. Name.

Sebastian Alexander Stormmane. Device. Sable, an owl displayed argent holding on its breast a rose gules.

Sigrun inn Hárfagri. Name and device. Purpure, a winged battleaxe and a chief dovetailed Or.

Please tell Lord Sigrun that he would be better off choosing a masculine given.

Submitted as Katya Alexis Polunochnik.

Randal Salvatóre. Name.

Rowen of Staffin. Name and device. Per fess argent and purpure, a thistle slipped and leaved and a swallow migrant within a bordure counterchanged.

Rowen is a later form of the old English name Hrodwen, and is perfectly acceptable as such. Ask the submitter to draw the bordure bigger.

Thomas Hambleton. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

ATLANTIA

Achbar ibn Ali. Badge. Sable, two axes in saltire, overall a mullet of four points, a bordure Or.

CAID

Akagawa Yoshio. Name for alternate persona al-Haadi abd-al-Malik Husam ibn Khalid.

Submitted as al-Qaadi abd-al-Malik Husam ibn Khalid, we have modified the name to correct the translation and to give the submitter what he desired (instead of the restricted title).

Bard's Keep, Canton of. Device. Per fess wavy azure and barry wavy argent and azure, on a chief wavy azure a laurel wreath Or between two towers argent.

Bleyddyn ap Rhys. Name.

Submitted as Bleddyn ap Rhys, we have modified the name to give the submitter what he originally desired. According to Lady Harpy the registered spelling here should be fine.

Tomas Luis Rodrigues de Segovia. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Submitted as Tomas Luis Rodriquez de Segovia, we have modified the name to what the submitter originally desired (per his consulting herald, Lord Habicht).

Ursula Vébjarnarkona. Name and device. Argent, a bear rampant purpure within a bordure embattled sable.
Submitted as Ursula Vebjornswif, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. Vebjorn is Old Norse and "wif" is Old English no documentation was included to demonstrate the compatibility of these two elements as combined in a single element as here. We have therefore substituted the proper genitive and the Old Norse equivalent of "wife".

Vebjorn Vegandi. Name and device. Per fess sable and gules, in chief a compass star and in base three palets couped and the line of division argent.

EAST

Aarnimetsä, Shire of. Name.

Adriana Rose Sanford. Name.

Alexandra Vasilievna. Name and device. Per fess counter-ermine and ermine, two cats couchant guardant, that in base counterny, within a bordure counterchanged argent and sable.

Alistair of Avalon. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Although Master Willhelm when he was Laurel disallowed the use of Avalon as a place from which humans could be, Lady Harpy notes the French of town Avallon in Stephens, p. 671, which would appear to make this acceptable.

Ambrosius Ismongere. Name.

Andrea of Saint Swithin's Bog. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Per bend sinister argent and vert, a serpent nowed and a heart fracted palewise counterchanged.

Submitted as Andrea of Snow Roses.

Andreas der Eisfalke. Name and device. Per pale vert and argent, a falcon displayed within a bordure embattled counterchanged.
The period byname Eisvogel (1418) lends credence to the byname here. Pretty armory.

Angus Gunn. Name.

Angus MacRae. Name.

Ariana of the North. Device. Argent, a brown otter statant proper within a bordure azure.

Arval Benicoeur. Badge. [Fieldless] A fountain.

The submitter's previously registered badge, [Fieldless] A cross patonce per saltire sable and Or, is released. Versus Browning (Papworth, p. 55) Barry wavy argent and azure, this does not appear to fall under the ban on arms of pretence in XI.4 of the Rules of Submission. The fountain is a clearly defined heraldic charge in and of itself and as such would not appear to be in conflict.

Asa of the Regnesfolc. Name.
Submitted as Asa of Regnesfolc, we have modified the name to correct the grammar (Asa of House Regnesfolc would have done as well). (The household name is Anglo-Saxon for "Rain People". At the very least we should have been given this information on the LOI.)

Aumaria Vaillant. Device. Chevronelly vert and argent, on a pile azure a dolphin naiant embowed counter-embowed argent.

Avelguarde the Wanderer. Name.

Bartek Ruhiger. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Catlin Svendsdottir. Change from holding name of Catlin of Nithgaard.

Charles of Caernarvon. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Sable, on a fess argent a dragon statant sable and in dexter chief an estoile of seven rays argent.

Fucha de la Rua. Name.

Genevieve d'Angoulême. Name.

Glikeriya Agafonovna Dudyshkin. Name and device. Argent, four wooden flutes fretted as a mascle proper and a chief azure.

Gunther Redbeard. Name.

This is sufficiently different from Gunnar Redbeard.

Gwalchmai Dinas Emrys. Name and device. Per saltire azure and gules, a hawk striking contourny and a bordure Or.

Gwynnedd o'r Dyffryn. Name.

Hrothbeorht MacPhie of Dreghorn. Name and device. Azure, two talbots statant respectant chained argent to a sinister gauntlet in chief Or.

As Mistress Alisoun also noted when she was Laurel, while temporal inconsistency in a name is sometimes notable, in a society where an Elizabethan lady can sit at the table next to an early Viking, requiring temporal consistency in a name seems to be asking more than is necessary.

Jana von Drachenklaue. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Juliana da Mestre. Device. Argent, three hearts in bend sinister sable within a bordure wavy gules.

Juliana Richenda Trevain. Device. Per fess wavy vert and argent, a sun argent and a seahorse sable crined vert.

Kendall MacBhroc. Name and device. Or, a thistle proper and on a chief embattled purpure a badger passant Or.

Lothar Conrad von Orsholt. Name and device. Quarterly purpure and Or, a bordure gules semy of goblets argent.

The photocopy of the map showing Oirsholt was very interesting, but would have been much more helpful had it given any real clue as to what part of the world it is a map of.

Maeve Aislynn Ronan. Name and device. Per pale sable and purpure, a panther's head cabossed argent, incensed Or, within a bordure argent semy of cavendish knots purpure.

Oriana the Meek. Name.

Owen Cynewulf. Name.

Raghar Krigslove. Name.

Submitted as Räghar Krigslove, we have modified the name to more closely follow documented forms. Given that both the native Swedish commenters in the East Kingdom and most of the CoA commenters who commented found the given to be unlikely, we have substituted the very similar documented form.

Ragnailt Caithnes. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Gules, a bear passant and on a chief argent three monkeys statant colared gules.
Submitted as Ragnailt Stoirm Caithnes.

Ragnar Ivarsson. Device. Per pale ermine and Or, a boar's head erased close contourny gules.

LAUREL

S.C.A. Badge for Sign Language Interpreters. Vert, in saltire two trumpets Or surmounted by a dexter hand appaumy.

A letter of permission to conflict having been received from the Crown of Caid, we are able to register this badge for Society-wide use by any sign language interpreter.

Their currently registered device, Azure, issuant from a hill proper a tower between in cross three mullets argent and a laurel wreath Or, is released. The vert trimount on the azure field is grandfathered from their earlier registered arms.

Cailean Gilchrist. Name and device. Per pale azure and sable, a mullet of eight points elongated palewise and pierced Or within a pair of wings conjoined in lure argent.

Cassandra of Wyndhaven. Name and device. Per fess azure and argent, a pegasus passant argent and on an open book azure a quill pen bendwise sinister Or.

Dughal MacDonnel. Name and device. Per chevron throughout Or and gules, a draw-knife Or between two bows in chevron gules and another fesswise Or.

Submitted as Dughal MacDonnel of Kennaquhair, we have modified the name to drop the unlikely locative. By the submitter's own documentation Kennaquhair is "Scottish for a place which does not exist; a name for some imaginary place". This does not appear to be a place from which a person could be. Lord Badger found a period depiction of a similar draw knife in period, so there is no problem with the primary charge here.

Estrella de La Trinité. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Etienne Harcourt de Lyon. Name.

Eustace FitzJames. Device. Bendy sinister embattled Or and gules.

Regarding Basset (Papworth, p. 53), Barry wavy Or and gules, there are two CVDs, one for bendy sinister versus barry and the second for embattled versus wavy. In field-only armory, lines of division and lines of partition are two separate categories for deterimining difference.

Gwyneth of Avondale. Name.

Halldor Rauthbjorn. Device. Argent, a bear rampant gules and a chief embattled azure.

Amal al-Jabal Hamrini. Name and device. Or, on a chevron gules a bird volant to sinister Or and in base a point pointed gules.

Per the White Stag letter of correction and the submitter's forms, the above form is what the submitter actually desired. (Though the letter of correction spelled "jabal" as "jamal", which is camel. Signed, al-Jamal Herald Extraordinary)

Berengaria de Chinon. Name change from holding name of Thora of the Outlands.

Bjorn Halvorsson. Name.

Submitted as Bjorn Holvarsson, we have modified the spelling to match the submitter's documentation.

Cassandra la Sable. Device change. Per fess argent and sable, a hawk striking to sinister gules and a natural leopard's head erased affronty argent.
Her previously registered device, Per fess argent and sable, a hawk striking to sinister sable and a natural leopard's head erased affronty argent, is released.

Christoph von Mainz. Name and device. Counterermine, a double-headed eagle and a label couped and dovetailed Or.

Daifa A'isha al-Balansiyyahi. Name and device. Vert, a scimitar inverted proper surmounted by a dove volant argent all between two pallets Or.

Submitted as Daifa A'isha al-Balansiyyah, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. The submitted form implied that the submitter was Valencia, not that she was from Valencia.

Donal de la Barne. Name and device. Quarterly sable and argent, four mascules counterchanged.
Versus Dorren of Ashwell, Quarterly sable and argent, a cross of four mascules counterchanged, we may either apply X.2 for the substantial change to the type of primary charge (mascule versus cross), or we can grant one CVD for the change of type of primary charge (mascule versus cross) and a second for number (four versus one).

Maeve Nessa MacCumhal. Name.

Marie Pierre de Cashel. Name.

Outlands, Kingdom of. Name for the Outlands Entertainer's Guild.

Outlands, Kingdom of. Name for the Outlands Equestrian Guild.

Philippe Marquet Sévère. Name.

Rosalind of Willmark. Name.

Several commenters noted that "dweller at the well border" did not appear to make much sense. However, Eckwall notes that "well" also means "spring" or "stream", making the locative reasonable.

Suzanne Grey of York. Name.

Tadhg MacMóire. Name.

Submitted as Taidhg MacMór, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. The name as submitted had the given in the genitive form, which form is what the byname needed to be.

Thorfinn Greybeard. Name.

Tigres de las Montañas, Collegio de los. Name and device. Purpure, a tyger passant between three roundels Or each charged with a laurel wreath sable.

TRIMARIS

An Crosaire, Barony of. Name for Order of the Cross and Serpent.

Transfer from the Kingdom of Trimaris.

Briana O'Laighin of Galway. Name.

Colfre Signy Tryggvadottir. Name.

Debralaan d'Opparre. Device. Sable, a unicornate natural sea-horse within a double stranded pearl necklace in annulo argent.

Mikhail Litvak. Name and device. Per chevron gules and azure, a chevron argent between two daggers in chevron proper and a straight trumpet inverted Or.

Versus Minna Hirneisen, Per chevron gules and azure, a chevron argent between two quatrefoils and a stag trippant Or, there is a CVD for the change of type of the secondaries and another for changing the tincture of more than half the group (to mostly argent).

Nicolas Bradwater. Name.

Ragnar Longeye. Name.

If I may quote Lord Trefoil, "Nowhere in this appeal do we see evidence that Longeye meets the requirements in II.2 and II.3 that 'made-up' names be formed in a period manner. Instead, the argument boils down to the claims that a) the name makes sense to modern perceptions and b) we've registered worse." Neither of these is grounds for reconsideration or registration. Fortunately for the submitter, Lord Badger has been able to find support for the byname as a placename. Old English places that ended in "eg" or "haeg" had their spelling changed over the years to "ey". Thus, as Ragnar from "Long Island" (Longeye), this name becomes quite reasonable.

Richard deLacy. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Robin MacLeer. Device. Per bend argent and gules, a keystone sable charged with a chalice Or.

Ask the submitter to draw the charges larger.

Rurik Petrovitch Stoianov. Device. Gules, a saltire vairy Or and sable between three badger's heads affronty argent marked sable, one and two, in base two flails in saltire surmounted by a sword, all Or.
This is the submitter's "secondary" version of this submission. (See RETURNS for his primary choice.) We do not normally consider different versions of submissions at the Laurel level. I am making an exception this one time because of the long amount of time in which the submitter, his College of Heralds, and the College of Arms have been working with this particular device.

Siglinde von Hartberg. Device. Or, a demi-griffin, on a chief gules, three bezants.

Siobhan ni Riain of Brielle. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Stevyn of Bienn nam faoghla. Device. Per bend vert and argent, an increscent and a blackthorne sprig within a bordure counterchanged.

Taliesynne Nychymhor yr Angyfannedd. Augmentation of Arms (see RETURNS for device change). Quarterly sable and gules, a unicorn rampant to sinister argent charged with a pricspur Or, fimbriated sable, as an augmentation, an orle surmounted by an orle of triskeles, argent.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Name for Order of the Argent Estoille of Trimaris.

William of the Tower. Name and device. Argent, in fess three swords inverted sable, on a chief embattled azure, three towers argent.

Wyvernwood, Barony of. Name for Order of the Wyvern's Claw.

Transfer from Trimaris, Kingdom of.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

ANSTEORRA

Stevyn Gaoler. Name.

Conflict with Stefan le Gaoler. Addition of the particle is insufficient.

Tadhg Liath of Duncairn. Name for House Moonsea.
There are two problems with the household name. The first is conflict with Moonsea in the TSR Forgotten Realms novels and games. Its multiple appearances there make it significant enough to protect per the Administrative Handbook. Secondly, Moonsea is not a period style name. Barring documentation of similarly constructed names in English, this must be returned.

ATENVELDT

Angela Sara Maria Diaz de Valdes. Badge. [Fieldless] A gem ring Or set with six emeralds vert, overall a galleon sable, sailed gules.

We need documentation that this type of ring (with stones all the way around the outside edge) is period, not to mention the need for documentation that the raised settings for the stones on the ring are period.

Diedre Maudelyn of the Moor. Argent, three bells azure within a bordure sable masoned Or.
Conflict with Wordsworth (Papworth, p. 181), Argent, three bells azure. Addition of the bordure is only one CVD.

Diana Paradiso Delarosa Pergolini. Name.
Though the LoI gave the given as Diana, the forms actually had D'Anna, an Italian surname. Thus, this submission has four surnames with nary a given to be found anywhere. The submitter needs to acquire a given name and lose two (or better, three) of the four surnames.

Duncan MacLean. Name.
Duncan MacLain is one of the three most important continuing characters in Kathryn Kurtz's Deryni books, and is protected by the Administrative Handbook, Protected Items D.

Katya Alexis Polunochnik. Name.
This is not a correctly formed Russian name. Russian naming practices are very strict and do not have the leeway given many other languages. The correct form would appear to be Katya Aleksievna Polunochnika. However, since the submitter allowed no changes at all we were unable to correct the grammar to register the name.

Suhani Kandari of Kashmir. Name change from Arabella Cleophea Winterhalter.
The name change has been withdrawn by the submitter.

Thomas Hambleton. Device. Or, a chevron and in chief two dragon heads erased respectant sable, breathing flames gules.
Conflict with Berton (Papworth, p. 376), Or, a chevron sable. There is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

ATLANTIA

Björn Ráthvaldsson. Name and device. Pily bendy argent and azure, a tree couped proper and a bordure vert.

Though the name was submitted on the LoI as above (well, with an edh instead of a "th"), the submitter's forms quite clearly have "Bjorn Ragnvaldson" (without the umlaut in Bjorn). Given that the submitter would not allow corrections to grammar or spelling (though he would to translation), we feel compelled to return this so that the confusion regarding the submitted name can be straightened out "in kingdom". The device conflicts with Barony of Forgotten Sea, Argent, ermined, a poplar tree, its roots nowed in the form of a Ukranian trident head inverted, all within a border vert. There is one CVD for the field but nothing for the type of tree, frou-frou around the roots, or the brown trunk (less than half of the charge).

Caterina de Chantal. Device. Purpure, a centaur rampant guardant maintaining a harp and on a chief argent, two recorders in saltire sable.
No emblazon form was submitted with this submission. My staff apologizes for not catching this early enough to correct the problem before the Laurel meeting.

Katriona nic Séamus. Name.
Conflict with Caiterina nic Shéamais. If given proper Gaelic pronunciations, this conflicts under the rules. Additionally, Séamus would aspirate and change to the genitive here: Shéamais.

CAID

Alexander de Toulon and Catrin Rhiannon d'Arc. Badge. [Fieldless] A sea-horse maintaining a rose slipped argent.

Conflict with Rowen of Windtree Tower, Per saltire sable and vert, a seahorse erect argent. There is only one CVD for fieldless versus fielded. There is also some question as to the propriety of registering a seahorse to someone with the name Rhiannon, given the long-standing ban on registering horses in combination with the name Rhiannon.

Jannat Raushana al-Rumiya. Device. Gules, four Stafford knots in saltire tassels inward Or between four crescents in cross horns inward argent.
The four-fold symmetry of the submission is not period style and violates the strictures of Rules for Submission VIII.4. and VIII.4.d., Obtrusive Modernity.

Lawrence Kelly. Device. Argent, a horseshoe inverted gules each end ensigned with a fool's cap sable.
Aside from its general shape, there is nothing to distinguish this horseshoe from the letter "U". [Ensigned with fool's caps, that would make this a "fooled U".] We would prefer to see some evidence that this is period style, rather than modern, before we register it.

Rodrigo del Corazón de Oro. Device. Per pale ermine and gules, on a heart Or a latin cross bottony sable.
Conflict with US 13th Division (Military Ordinary, No. 829), Sable, a heart Or charged with a castle sable lighted and portaled Or, dependent below the portal a key palewise sable. There is one CVD for the field, but it lacks the necessary second for change to type only of the tertiary.

CALONTIR

Gisele Adelais Geirlaug Ulfsdottir. Device. Argent, a winged wolf salient holding a sword sable.

Conflict with Atwood (Papworth, p. 98), Argent, a wolf salient sable. There is only one CVD for adding the wings.

Hertha Blair of Froggestow. Badge. [Fieldless] A frog rampant vert.
Conflict with Gaston de l'Abbaye, Checky gules and argent, a frog salient vert. There is one point for fieldlessness but nothing for the difference between rampant and salient.

Sean MacDonald. Name.
Conflicts with Sir John MacDonald, first Premier of the Dominion of Canada, which he helped found.

Tomas Luis Rodrigues de Segovia. Device. Per saltire argent and paly argent and azure, in pale two lutes bend sinisterwise azure.
The primaries as drawn are not lutes: they are mandolins, a post-period artifact. Additionally, they are in trian aspect. For both these reasons this must be returned.

EAST

Alistair of Avalon. Device. Azure, a bear's head cabossed Or within a mascle of four swords proper.

Conflict with Hartree School Peebleshire (1st quarter) (Lyon Ordinary II, p. 210), Azure, a bear's head affronty Or. There is one CVD for the addition of the swords.

Andrea of Snow Roses.
The byname is not a reasonable locative. As Lord Badger noted, while each of the two parts of the byname were used in period, they were not used in the same kinds of bynames. To be used in a period manner, snow would have to be a reasonable discriptive adjective to apply to roses. Barring documentation of such a use in period, this must be returned.

Bartek Ruhiger. Device. Azure, an oak tree eradicated and on a chief argent three estoiles azure all within a bordure argent.
In spite of the registration of a bordure and chief in the same tincture some time back noted in the LoI, a similar combination was disallowed in the LoAR for the January 1991 Laurel meeting. It was noted there that a chief should not be used with a bordure of the same tincture as it will give the visual effect of a bordure with a fat top. Nor does period armory give much precedent for such a combination, as the vast majority of exemplars there go out of their way to demarcate the two charges by tincture, line of division, or both. As has often been noted, we follow the general practices, not the exceptions.

Charles Mandraco of Caernarvon. Name.
The Rules for Submission II.2, Constructed Names, notes that constructed forms "must follow the rules for formation of the appropriate category of name elements in the language from which the documented elements are drawn". We were not even given a language for the elements of Mandraco, though they appear to be English and Latin. We need the proper documentation before Mandraco, which appears to be an unlikely combination, can be registered. Might we suggest one of the following attested period forms: Mandragore, Mandrake, Mondrake, Mandragge, or Mandragon.

Ciaran Redmane. Device. Per bend sable and vert, a horse's head couped argent maned gules fimbriated Or within a bordure argent.
There are simply too many problems with the emblazon here to register this and tell the submitter to "draw the X properly". The greatest difficulty comes with the mane of the horse's head which, rather than being of flames proper, is gules, fimbriated Or. The mane is far too complex to fimbriate. (And there is some question as to whether "maned of flames" is acceptable SCA style.) The suggestion by Lord Trefoil that we simply blazon the mane gules and tolerate its low contrast against the field as an artistic detail worth no heraldic difference will not work here. On this horse's head the mane is easily as significant as a pair of wings would be, and we would not allow them to break tincture either.

Elizabeth Mills. Device. Argent, a Celtic cross sable entwined by a serpent Or.
Conflict with Anwicke (Woodward), Argent, a holy cross sable. There is CVD for the type of cross, but the majority of the commenters felt that the snake was effectively a maintained charge. Were the submitter to place the snake entirely on the cross rather than wrapped around it (incidentally improving the identifiabily of both charges), this would be clear.

Eloise of Coulter. Badge. [Fieldless] A catamount sejant guardant proper grasping in its forepaws a thistle proper and in its mouth a feather Or.
Conflict with McGillivrary (Lyon II, p. 51), Or, a catamountant sejant guardant proper, his dexter forepaw on the ground and his sinister forpaw in a guardant posture and his tail reflexed under his sinister paw. There is one CVD for fieldlessness but nothing for the minor changes in posture or the small maintained charges.

Jana von Drachenklaue. Device. Per pale azure and sable, a swan naiant reguardant and on a chief Or three hazelnuts vert.
The posture of the swan is not really blazonable, nor is it reproducable by the blazon given in the LOI. The charges on the chief are not recognizable. Suggestions at the Laurel meeting as to what they were (before the blazon was read) included pitted green olives and tennis balls. Were the problem with simply one or the other, we would probably register this with a note to the submitter to "draw the X properly". The combination, however, is too much.

Maschio dei Normanni Il. Name and device. Argent, an elephant statant fettered and bearing a castle and on a chief gules three laurel wreaths argent.
The problem with this name is the designator Maschio. The primary meanings in the submitters own documentation are "male, manly, masculine, virile". Several commenters had questions regarding its propriety as an alternate designator for "stronghold". We would have registered this as Stronghold dei Normanni, and left the determination of the alternate designator "maschio" to the College at a later date, but as the submitters permitted no changes whatsoever to the name, we are having to return this in its entirety.

Ragnailt Stoirm Caithnes.
No evidence whatsoever was presented to demonstrate that Stoirm (meaning "storm") is a reasonable epithet. We need evidence that Stoirm is similar to other Gaelic epithets before we can register this.

Stephen of Falworth. Badge. [Fieldless] On a mullet of six points azure a sea-lion argent.
Conflict with Adrienne de Champagne, Argent, on a mullet of six points azure, a falcon displayed argent. There is only one CVD for fieldlessness; changing the type only of the tertiary is insufficient here. Lord Brigantia assumed too much from Laurel's June 17 Cover Letter statement that "possibly mullets of six points may be considered simple geometric charges" for purposes of X.4.j.ii. That we do not distinguish between mullets of five points and mullets of six points when counting conflict is not on point here. We do distinguish between them on stylistic issues. Additionally, commentary has been running nearly unanimously against Laurel's applying X.4.j.ii to mullets of five points, and it seems very likely that this precedent will be overturned at the December Laurel meeting.

MIDDLE

Estrella de La Trinité. Device. Per fess wavy sable mullety argent and azure, a swan naiant Or.

In a precedent set by Mistress Alisoun in the LoAR of October 26 1986, she stated that a party field tinctured either all dark or all light may use a complex line of partition if "no charge shall significantly obscure the line of division." The swan here significantly obscures the extremely low contrast line of division of the field, making identifiability of the line as "wavy" nearly impossible.

Gunvor Torstensdottir. Device. Azure, three flames voided Or and on a chief rayonny argent two escallops inverted azure.
The gouttes of flame are to complex to void. Voiding (and fimbriation) have been pretty much restricted to ordinaries or similarly simple charges for some time now.

Laurence Jowell. Device. Per pale azure and argent, a pheon inverted counterchanged.
The primary is neither a broadarrow, a pheon, nor a spearhead of any recognizable heraldic type. As such, its identifiabilty and reproducability become extremely problematic. If he would resubmit with a standard heraldic broadarrow, pheon or spearhead, we will be pleased to reconsider this.

Richard the Chicken-Hearted. Name.
This is not only a joke name, but a parody of Richard the Lion-Hearted. As was the case with Decrease Mather (a parody of Increase Mather), which was returned on the LoAR of May 12, 1985, this name "alludes strongly enough to the historical character to constitute infringement." [Ireverent comment from the Laurel meeting: "Just because you're from Toledo doesn't mean you can be this stupid." (Said by someone from Detroit. I don't know whether or not that commenter knew at the time that Lord Laurel was born in Toledo. {Or maybe she did.})]

Siobhan Greenmeadow. Device. Vert, semy of cinquefoils, a pale argent.
Conflict with von Oberheim (Siebmacher, Plate 38), Sable, a pale between six roses argent. There is a CVD for the field tincture, but no difference for cinquefoils versus roses or for a semy versus six. The flowers on the large emblazon are not truly cinquefoils, but appear to be halfway between cinquefoils and something like edelweiss. If the submitter would select a flower which does not look like roses it should clear this conflict.

OUTLANDS

Brikti macMór. Name change from Astrid Ragnarsdottir av Arvika.

The grammar of the name is incorrect: Brikti is the genitive form and it needs to be the nominitive here. This would appear to be Brigid, or perhaps (in Manx) Bridey or Breeshey. The surname is probably acceptable, as MacMore is noted in MacLysaght. However, it would be more likely as nic Mhór.

Loch Seasc, Shire of. Name and device. Barruly wavy Or and gules, a phoenix argent within a laurel wreath vert.
The submitted name does not appear to have the meaning the submitters intend. Seashg means "barren, unprolific, dry; without milk". The "barren" here apparently refers to a cow. Might we suggest "tioram", which means "dry, arid, without moisture", which would aspirate with the locative particle to "Loch Thioram". As we cannot form holding names for groups, we are having to return the armory along with the name.

Marisela de Broyde. Badge. [Fieldless] A square knot of thorn azure.
Conflict with the famous badge of Bourchier: [Fieldless] A Bourchier knot. There is once CVD for fieldlessness, but nothing for tincture or the difference between rope and thorns.

Needham Bledsoe. Name and device. Per chevron wavy azure and gules, a sow statant erect, the near hind leg couped, argent.
Rule II.4 states that "elements of a submitters name may be used as the corresponding part of a Society name." The subtext goes on to explain that "corresponding elements are defined by their type, not solely their position in the name." The submitter's middle name, Needham, is a surname by type. It may not therefore be used as a given name in the SCA. On the device, in addition to the non-period "couping" of the hind leg, which complicates the identifiabilty of the pig's position, this is in conflict with Eyre (Papworth, p. 58), Gules, a boar salient argent, collared and chained Or, and with Henena (Woodward Ordinary p. 8), Or, a boar rampant argent.

TRIMARIS

Ealasaid an Dubhghlais. Badge. Checky Or and gules, three snails conjoined in triskelion sable.

Conflict with Seminary South Corporation, [Fieldless] Three fossil ammonites conjoined in triskelion. There is onc CVD for fieldlessness versus fielded, but nothing for tincture.

Eirene Eolande of Mytelene. Name and device. Vert, on a pall inverted Or, between three doves migrant to base, each bearing an olive branch in its beak, argent, three cubit arms hands to center, proper.
No documentation was presented for Eolande. As for the device, hands proper have long been treated in the SCA as a light tincture and thus may not be placed on Or or argent.

Feargus MacBruce. Device. Or, a saltire between a decrescent and three mullets, on a chief azure, three thistles Or.
Conflict with Cooper (Papworth, p. 1065), Or, a saltire azure, on a chief of the second three leopards heads couped of the first spotted sable, ducally crowned argent. There is one CVD for the addition of the secondaries, but X.4.j.ii does not apply to changing the type of charges on the chief in armory this complex, and the sable spots and crowns are not sufficient to grant the second necessary CVD.

Gherardo il Trincatore. Name for House Syrius.
Conflict with the very well known "dog star" Sirius, and with the nation of Syria ("Syrius" is Latin, pertaining to the nation or people of Syria). Both names are protected in the Administrative Handbook, Protected Items E, Names ... of Significant Geographical Locations Outside the Society.

Ilaine de Cameron. Device. Azure, a bendlet, a bendlet sinister, a billet voided bendwise, and a billet voided bendwise sinister, all interlaced within a bordure, all argent.
As noted by a number of commenters, the primary charge(s) here does not really meet the requirements of rules for submission VII.7.a, which notes that "elements must be recognizale solely from their appearance." As the convoluted blazon makes clear, this is very much like, but is not exactly, a fret. However, its very strong resemblance to a fret does bring this into conflict with Echingham (Papworth, p. 878) Azure, a fret argent. (As a note in SCA blazon, there is no such thing as a bendlet or bendlet sinister by itself. If there is only one, it is a bend or bend sinister.)

Lydia de la Mer. Device. Azure, on a chevron between three escallops argent, three estoilles azure, and a bordure argent.
Conflict with Moutrie (Papworth, p. 510) Azure, on a chevron between three escallops argent a boar's head couped sable enclosed by two mullets gules and a bordure of the second. There is only one CVD for the changes of the tertiaries.

Richard deLacy. Device. Argent, two bendlets and in base a cross moline fitchy azure.
Conflict with Marten (Papworth, p. 283), Argent, two bendlets azure. There is one CVD only for the addition of the cross. The enhancement of the bendlets would normally occur by adding a charge only in base.

Rorik Strongfire. Name.
If I may quote Lord Trefoil, "Nowhere in this appeal do we see evidence that Stongfire meets the requirements in II.2 and II.3 that 'made-up' names be formed in a period manner. Instead, the argument boils down to the claims that a) the name makes sense to modern perceptions and b) we've registered worse." Unlike the situation with Ragnar Longeye, above, however, none of the commenters were able to come up with documentation of similar name formations which would allow Strongfire to be registered. No one was able to show that fires were ever considered to be "strong": large, hot, etc., yes, but not "strong" in any way. Lord Badger has found a number of period occupational surnames, any one of which would serve the submitter well. Might we recommend that he consider one of those.

Rurik Petrovitch Stoianov. Device. Gules, a saltire vairy argent and sable between three badger's heads affronty argent marked sable, one and two, in base two flails in saltire surmounted by a sword, all Or.
Conflict with Morwick (Papworth, p. 1059), Gules, a saltire vairy argent and sable. There is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Siobhan ni Riain of Brielle. Device. Vert, a saxon sun-dial between three triskelions gammadion in annulo argent.
No documentation was included for the sundial, Saxon or any other kind. In fact, Lord Batonvert has found two examples of Saxon sun-dials. This submission has neither form. A second problem is the recognizability of any kind of sundial used as a charge in armory. As this registration would be the defining instance of a sundial in the SCA, we must have adequate documentation that this is a standard form. (That the submission herald's "knowledge of sundials is nil" by his own admission should have made adequate documentation from the submitter all the more imperative.)

Taliesynne Nychymhor yr Angyfannedd. Change of Arms. Quarterly sable and gules, a unicorn rampant to sinister argent.
A change of device requires that the appropriate paperwork and fee be sent to Laurel. As this was not done we are forced to return this device change.

Thomas du Lac. Badge. Gyronny argent and azure, a fleur-de-lys sable within a bordure argent.
Just as you may not have a compony bordure that shares a tincture with the field, neither may you have a plain bordure which shares the tincture with a gyronny field as here.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Name for Order of the Morningstar of Trimaris.
Conflict with House Morningstar. Addition of the Kingdom name is insufficient.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Name for Order of the Watchful Flame.
Conflict the Barony of the Flame and the Flame Pursuivant. The addition of the adjective "watchful" is insufficient in each case.
