Curlew Drogheala. Tierced per pale, vert, argent, and sable, a trident sable.

Thamzine of the North Sea. Per fess wavy crested, azure, a mullet Or and vert, a roundel ermine.

(Does this signify an ermine iceberg afloat in the sea?)

Eochaid the Musical. Gules, two krummhorns saltirewise argent.

Talmara Theta de Nøn. Purpure, a chappe ployee argent, voided sable.

Cathleen Caslean An Bharaigh. Vert, above a tower Or a harp argent.

Glamorgan of Dudley. Azure, a chevron inverted Or between three lions' heads erased argent.

Province of the Glens. By special letter the Lord Laurel will redefine this blazon and give particulars on what is a heraldic rainbow and what is a special rainbow made up for the purpose.

THESE DEVICES WERE REJECTED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS (5 AUGUST VII):

Kingdom of the West.

Vivian of the Moon. Argent, upon a lozenge sable a crescent argent.

This is like saying, "Argent, upon a lozenge Sean Macarailt." Suggest almost any other charge.

Middle Kingdom.

Eric Odinsson.

Let him submit a history form documenting whose son he it, or change his name.

Cyrian of the Wheel.
What colour is a wooden wheel?

Phillippe de Souraine.
Sable, a pale argent, thereon a chevron gules. This is still mostly colour on colour; suggest he fimbriate the chevron.

Kingdom of Atenveldt.

Eric the Fierce. Badge. Gyrondee of three, purpure, azure, and vert.

This is too similar to the arms of Crispus Alexander of the West Kingdom.

Chief of Clan Chlurain.
Until officially informed otherwise, the Lord Laurel must take the position that Clan Chlurain is a household like any other house-hold and the College does not register households. It cannot be registered as a badge to any individual because each King appoints a new Chieftain. Unofficially, the Lord Laurel is aware that Clan Chlurain is what Atenveldt has in the way of a service organization. When he has received a letter from the King of Atenveldt, stating that Clan Chlurain falls within the category of those organizations that qualify as service organizations, he will register it to the Crown of Atenveldt.
