rompú purpure and in base a Blackeyed Susan slipped and leaved proper within

Mairghread Maire Draigdaimhalachd. Name change from
Margaret Meri Dragonfriend.
Maolcholm Burnes. Name change from Alexis Geoffrey
Burnes.
NOTE: Maolcholm is the proper spelling. Patronymics are
formed with Mac and the father's given name, not his surname. Burnes is a
surname, and so does not use Mac. I have therefore dropped the Mac.

on a mullet of four points throughout sable a sword argent.

at a distance, Sian should draw the vair bells larger, i.e., use fewer rows
with larger bells.

between in chief a laurel wreath between two oak trees fructed and a ford
proper.

Marjolet). Argent, on a pile sable an opinicus rampant Or.

mundane arms. The rules have been changed and now we require 1 1/2 points
As a special case, I grant a specific exception to this rule and pass Alderet's
device so he and his brother Guillaume may have similar arms. (Had they not
been brothers, I would not have allowed this.)

palewise argent.

G.O.
Cuillean Lodbrog Houndstooth. Per bend sinister
sable and gules, a bend sinister argent between two roses counter changed,
barbed, seeded, and fimbriated argent.
NOTE: Cuehlain is not a proper variant of Cuillean, so
I have used the latter. The other allowable variants are: Cullan, Culan, Cullain,
Culann, Culain, Cillean, or Cilean. If you want one of these, let us know
and we will change the name. Draw the fimbriation of the roses wider.
Dreiburgen, Barony. Badge. Per chevron throughout
argent and azure, a tower argent within a bordure embattled azure.
NOTE: This badge, passed in March, was not for the Order

Or, a swan rousant, wings elevated and addorsed, sable, maintaining in its
sinister foot a laurel wreath vert.
Dionysia die Reisende. Azure, fretty Or, a bay
horse courant proper.
NOTE: Appeal OK. Fretty is now considered a treatment of

horse. Instead, one specifies the breed or coloration. In this case it is
a bay.

bendwise, wings addorsed, sable and a chief engrailed gules.
Mario l'Arciere. Argent, in saltire two arrows
inverted sable, overall a sea-lion erect vert.
NOTE: The proper form is "l'Arciere," although "Arciere"
by itself is also correct.
Sunsetshire. Per fess gules and vert, a demi-sun
issuant from the line of division within a laurel wreath Or.
NOTE: In accordance with period practice, I have combined
the two words. You realize that you have a sister shire in the Shire of Dawnfield

pen bendwise argent, within a bordure invected Or. (Cygnus olor)

REJECTIONS APRIL 19, 1982 XVI
KINGDOM OF ANSTEORRA
Alexandra Tatiana Feodorovna of Novgorod. Badge
Argent, a heron-headed phoenix of fire vulning itself gules rising from
flames Or issuant to chief from a pellet.
NOTE: Badge rejected. This is not a Russian firebird, which
looks more like a peacock. This is like a pelican-phoenix in its piety. It
is too reminiscent of the badge of the Order of the Pelican.
Brioughna Dae Arioughna. Argent, on a pile engrailed
azure a plate charged with a trident azure.
NOTE: Device conflicts with Dallyson: Argent, on a pile
engrailed azure three crescents argent.
Morgur the Wise of Acre. Per bend azure and gules,
a hawk stooping argent and a tower Or.
NOTE: Device is too close to Dove of Hoghton: Per bend
sable and Or, a dove volant bendwise and a tower counterchanged. If you
would like to ask her permission, write to her c/o Robin Rolls, 6174 Bernhard,
Richmond, CA 94805.
Robert Victor Gerard. Azure, on a bend sinister
sable fimbriated three fleurs-de-lys Or, overall a chief ermine.
NOTE: The device is rejected because the chief appears
to be an augmentation of Brittany. Try moving the chief up off the bend sinister
in the usual manner. Chiefs overall were generally only used for augmentations
KINGDOM OF AN TIR
Garth of the Highlands. Argent, ermined azure,
a lightning flash bendwise Or, overall a lion rampant sable, and on a chief
azure a Latin cross argent.
NOTE: Device rejected. The lightning flash Or on an argent
field is metal on metal. Adding a powdering of azure ermine spots does not
make the field a fur. Try removing the lightning flash.
KINGDOM OF ATLANTIA
Maeve of Caernarvon. Badge for Minowara Fujiko
The shin character t_ (East)
NOTE: Mon withdrawn at Maeve's request.
KINGDOM OF CAID
Ameliana die Weisse aus Siena. Argent, a carnation

affronté head to sinister, mane enflamed, wings concealing the sinister leg
seraphically, the dexter foreleg in front of the sinister wing, argent, and
on a base enhanced embattled vert, fimbriated, two thistles leaning outwards
argent.
NOTE: Rejected. The device is not in period style. We do
not use thin lines. Heraldic thistles are straight. The demi-pegasus should
be put into a standard heraldic position.
Pasqual Cabarruvias de la Vara. Gules, on a pile
throughout argent between two lightning flashes Or a mushroom gules.
NOTE: Device rejected. Resubmit with the blazon in the
LoI so the CoA can comment.
Rhyance ap Llewellyn. Sable, a winged lion sejant
affronté wings displayed, chased and in chief a Celtic cross chased
argent.
NOTE: Device rejected. The device doesn't have sufficient
contrast. The College of Arms has decided not to allow complex voiding or
chasing because of the lack of contrast.
Susanna da Braun. Azure, a bend between an Easter
lily reversed, slipped and leaved, and a unicorn rampant argent.
NOTE: Name rejected. Articles and their nouns must be in
the same language. Either use von Braun or Braun or else translate Braun into
Italian. Be sure you are using a correct translation of what you really want
(In Italian, brown or brunette is Bruna.) The device looks OK.
Yaroslav the Persistent. Badge for House Pounder,
Gules, a phoenix displayed, head to sinister, rising from flames Or.
NOTE: Badge conflicts with the 39th U.S. Field Artillery
Battalion: Gules, issuant from base a phoenix Or from flames proper.
