THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED.

ANSTEORRA

Eldred Bloodaxe. Badge. Quarterly Or and sable, two double-bitted axes in saltire within a bordure, all counterchanged.

This was pended from the April Laurel meeting. There was some discussion as to whether this armory combined with the surname is too close to the registered arms of Sutan Bloodaxe (Quarterly argent and gules, two double-bitted axes in saltire within a bordure, all counterchanged), with reference made to the return of Doran Campbell in the LoAR of 15 January 1989, where the submitter was combining the surname with the gyronny field and boar's head crest of the Campbells on his device. It is Laurel's feeling in this case, however, that the complete change to all tinctures on the device bring this clear, in spite of the similarity of outline. (I suspect we would have little real problem with someone combining the surname Campbell with a field "gyronny argent and azure", either.)

Freydis Aelfhilda of Gloppinfjord. Name and device. Per saltire Or and sable, in pale two mullets sable and in fess two clarions Or.

This was pended from the May Laurel meeting.

Akilah Jihan bint Zaid. Name.

Alaric fitz Madoc. Device. Barry wavy azure and argent, a dolphin haurient to sinister gules.

This was pended from the May Laurel meeting. Versus the British II Corps (MilOrd #629), Argent, three barrulets wavy azure, overall a fish bendwise, head to chief gules, orbed argent, it was the consensus at the meeting that there is a CVD for the difference in type between an heraldic dolphin and a generic fish, in addition to the CVD for posture.

Submitted as Bridgit Mong Ruadh, we have modified the name as the submitter's forms allowed to correct the grammar for the meaning she desired. ("Mong" means "mane", not "hair".)

A nice, simple device!

Nice armory!

Robin of Mannefeld. Name and badge for House Redwolf. Argent, in pale a wolf's head erased gules and a fer-a-loup sable.

The charge in base was blazoned on the LoI as a "wolf's claw". We have opted to use the less obscure fer-a-loup.

Sean Killian MacTalbot. Name.

Sheri Lynn of Emerson Lake. Name correction or change from Sherri Lynn of Emerson Lake.

The submitter's mundane name has only one "r" - Sheri.

Timmeke Haakonson of Nordheim. Change of name from Timothy of Nordheim.

This was pended from the May Laurel meeting because the forms and documentation had not been received. Adequate documentation has now been presented.

Toke is listed in Reaney's Dictionary of British Surnames, p. 324, as a given name dated 1068. Versus the device of Ciorstan MacAmhlaidh (SCA), Sable, on a pile inverted throughout argent, in base a crescent sable, overall in chief two chevronels inverted enhanced counterchanged, there are two CVDs for changing the two chevronels to one bordure (type and number).

Ruaidhri Blackfeather. Name.

Sara Davies of Monmouth. Name.

Seonaid a Lochbuie. Name and device. Per fess fleury counter-fleury vert and Or.

The S.C.A. has long considered a per fess field division to be different from a field and a chief. It is Laurel's position (with which some of us will no doubt disagree) that our own traditions have to be considered as well as period mundane precedent in considering armory for registration.

Siobhan Foirbeis of Lonachan. Name and device. Argent, a bear rampant vert and on a bordure sable three thistles Or.

Thomas de la Cascade. Device. Vert, on a pale between six arrowheads inverted Or, three more sable.

Cornelius of Blackmoor. Name.

Dughal Stiubhard the Red Giant of Glenheather. Name and device. Gules, on a pale Or an anvil pierced by a sword inverted sable, all within a bordure embattled counterchanged.

Submitted as Dughal Stuibhard the Red Giant of Glenheather, the byname appeared as Stiubhard on the forms.

Floraidh nic Alasdair. Name.

The name appeared on the LoI as Floriadh nic Alasdair, but appeared in the registered form on the submission forms.

The name appeared on the LoI as Ilya Vsevolov Fominich, but appeared on the forms and was corrected in the commentary as above.

Johannes von Baden. Name.

Killian Naomhain. Name.

Richard na Teanga Mhin. Name and device. Per pale wavy azure and sable a swan statant close argent and a sword inverted proper.

The name was submitted as Richard de an Min Teanga. We have modified the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to correct the grammar.

Beautiful armory!

MIDDLE

The submitter has permission to conflict with Domnhnall of Glenfiddich.

Calum ap Gwydion of Loch Duich. Name.

Caoilte MacConnan of Clan O'hIongardail. Name.

In the LoI the capital "I" of O'hIongardail was misread (and typed) as a lower case "l". It was written correctly on the forms.

Ceanntighern Macgillechallum. Name.

Cerdic Weyfare. Name.

Colin Mac Chlurain. Name and device. Per chevron throughout sable and Or, a sword inverted sable between in chief two drinking horns addorsed Or.

Comar gyr Mirand. Name and badge for House Vexillarius. Per fess indented azure and argent, in chief three mullets one and two argent, within a bordure Or.

Crispin Robert Bûcher. Lozengy argent and azure, a chalice between three fleurs-de-lys sable.

Cristoforo Alfonso Pallavincino da Firenze. Name and device. Per chevron argent and sable, two roses gules and a cobra affronty erect argent within a bordure counterchanged.

Cobras have their hoods expanded by default.

Daibheid MacQuarrie. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Deborah ferch Rhys. Change of device. Gyronny of sixteen argent and sable, a griffin segreant to sinister regardant purpure, maintaining in its foretalons a rebec proper. (Her former device, "Gyronny of sixteen argent and sable, a griffin segreant to sinister regardant purpure, maintaining in its foretalons a French dulcimer proper", is released.)

Domnhnall of Glenfiddich. Badge. Pean, an Irish wolfhound courant argent, in chief a barrulet couped Or.

Edward Godfre de Montaign of Huntington. Badge. Sable, a lion of Saint Mark sejant affronty wings displayed, within an orle of crosses formy Or.

Elen Greenhand. Device. Or, a mazer sable grasped by a pair of hands fesswise vert, within an orle of acorns proper.

While blazoned as "proper" on the LoI, the mazer here is primarily black with a chased design in Or. Given that mazers could be made of several different metals or of wood, we deemed it best to blazon the primary tincture here. Please inform the submitter that the identifiability of the hands is marginal.

Gareth Kenwrick. Name.

Genevieve du Lac. Name and device. Argent, an escarbuncle within an orle of crescents vert.

Gisela Blodwen Madoc. Name and device. Azure, a fess engrailed ermine between two garden roses in annulo slipped and leaved argent.

Illaria of Narwhale Keep. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Submitted as Illaria Merlume of Narwhale Keep, the second "name" does not appear to be a name, does not seem to be a plausible construct, and appears to be incorrectly translated. We have therefore dropped it in order to register the remainder of the name.

Irene of Dedham. Name and device. Per pale azure and Or, two owls addorsed counterchanged.

Owls are close guardant by default.

Johannes der Herold. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

John de Somerville. Pean, an antelope rampant to sinister argent.

Classic armory!

The name was submitted as Lilias Moira a'Srath. We have modified the name to the correct grammar as the submitter's forms allowed.

There was a suggestion made at the Laurel meeting that perhaps we should require this group to have canting arms. Laurel does not agree with requiring it, but finds the idea appealing.

Moira Catherine Mathews. Name and device. Or, in fess two hearts gules, ermined Or, and on a chief doubly enarched purpure an escallop inverted argent.

Nikolai Grigorevich Petrov. Name and device. Per bend sinister vert and Or, a unicorn rampant to sinister reguardant counterchanged.

Nordskogen, Barony of. Name for Order of the Heliotrope (see RETURNS for badge).

Nordskogen, Barony of. Name and badge for Order of the Rouge Bend. Sable, on a bend wavy argent another gules, overall a pine tree couped argent.

Odoacer Probissimus. Name.

Pagan du Bord du Lac. Name.

Rask Ulfbjorn. Name and device. Per pale argent and sable, a double-bitted axe between the two halves of a fractured anvil, within a bordure all counterchanged.

There was some discussion regarding whether the axe fell under the ban on a long skinny charge counterchanged along its long axis. It was the consensus of the meeting, after looking at the full-sized emblazon, that the axe was clearly identifiable as a axe even though the haft was counterchanged, and so was permissible in this case.

Saint Joan, College of. Name and device. Per chevron rayonny gules and Or, a tower gules within a laurel wreath vert, in chief two fleurs-de-lys Or.

Sharon Shannon. Name and device. Argent, goutty de poix, a saltire Or fimbriated azure, surmounted by a four-leaved clover vert.

This is right at the very limits for complexity with three types of charge and five tinctures. Only the simplicity of the basic design kept it from going over the edge.

Sylvestre Cathan. Name.

Taurin Gilbreid an Daraich Crom. Name and device. Per chevron rayonny vert and Or, three sickles in fess argent and a tree proper.

Submitted as Taurin Gilbriid an Daraich Crom, we have modified the second name to match the documented form as the submitter's forms allowed. Although the tree was blazoned as an oak tree, there was nothing which would distinguish it as such on the emblazon form (such as acorns and/or oak leaves).

Thorhalla Karlsdottir Broberg. Device. Purpure, a lion passant guardant Or, maintaining in his dexter paw a ragged staff palewise argent, on a chief Or, three valknuts purpure.

Submitted as Thorhalla Carlsdottir Bröberg, the name was previously registered in the above form. While there was some discussion regarding whether or not valknuts were thin-line heraldry, by definition they look like this, and it was our feeling that they should not then fall under the ban on thin-line heraldry in the same way that, say, a compass star voided would.

The issue of resubmissions and heraldic non-feasance is in this case confused enough (there is record of at least one inquiry in the early 1980s regarding the device in Laurel's files), that in this case we would go ahead and grandfather this submission and register it to the group.

Torsten Reinhardt. Device. Or, a trident vert, on flaunches azure two dolphins haurient respectant argent.

Please ask the submitter to draw the flaunches correctly, issuing from the corners of the chief.

Tyra of Rivenwood Tower. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Purpure, a domestic cat rampant to sinister argent within a bordure ermine.

Valentine Christian Warner. Name.

Wilhelm Cameron von Holstein. Vert, three swords inverted in point, on a chief argent three Latin crosses vert.

William Conor MacLean. Name.

William of Kyngesburye. Name and device. Per bend argent and sable, a bend gules between a dove sable and another reversed argent.

OUTLANDS

Kim of Silverwood. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Gyronny argent and vert, a horse head couped sable within eight acorns in annulo counterchanged.

Antoine de Bayonne. Device. Vert, a winged natural dolphin naiant to sinister and a chief invected argent.

Caerthe, Barony of. Name for Order of Sable Lion of Caerthe (see RETURNS for badge).

This clears the title of Lyon King of Arms by the addition of the adjective and toponymic; it clears the title of Black Lion Principal Herald by change of adjective and addition of toponymic.

Dragonsspine, Barony of. Device change. Or, four gyrons conjoined at fess point azure surmounted by a wingless dragon dormant in fess purpure, and in base a laurel wreath vert.

Their previously registered device, Per fess gyronny from fess point Or and azure, and Or, on the line of division a wingless dragon dormant purpure, and in base a laurel wreath vert, is released.

Eric Blaxton. Device. Quarterly argent, scaly sable, and azure, a mullet of four points counterchanged azure and argent.

Evan Mawr. Blazon correction for badge for Yamashiro Jiro. Sable, three torii in pall inverted, posts to center argent, between the uprights of each a plate.

Registered in September, 1989.

Fortunata Cercasapienza. Name and device. Azure, on a scroll unrolled fesswise proper a candle and holder azure, enflamed proper, on a point pointed a quill pen azure.

Submitted as Fortunata la Sapienza Cercatore, we have modified the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to give her the correct Italian form.

John Blau. Device. Argent, a pall inverted cotised between two cinquefoils and an anvil azure.

Katherina von Lehmann. Device. Checky sable and argent, a horse couchant to sinister Or.

Very pretty!

Patrice Descartes. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Roderick Nightrider. Blazon correction. Argent, a pall inverted couped gules between three grenades sable, enflamed proper.

The tincture of the primary was inadvertently omitted when this was registered in December 1989.

The tincture of the primary was inadvertently omitted when this was registered in December 1989.

The name was registered in January 1990.

Tess of the Crossings. Device. Or, on a pale bretassy sable between two roses, slipped and leaved, proper, a thunderbolt palewise Or.

The correction in the June LoAR accidentally left out the tincture of the pale, which had been omitted from the registration made in January 1990.

TRIMARIS

Alasdair Francis MacDhomhnuill. Device. Per pale azure and vert, two axes in saltire Or, fretted of a bowen knot, overall an annulet argent.

Aspasia Jeanne Cartier. Badge for House Shining Scales. Per pale sable and azure, a standing balance argent within an orle per pale argent and Or.

Astrid den Älskaden. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and vert, a wolf sejant to sinister, dexter paw raised, argent, between in bend a sun argent and a sun Or.

Submitted as Astrid de Älskad, we have modified the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to correct the grammar.

Please ask the submitter to draw the bordure wider.

Cateline de la Mor la Souriete. Name change from Cateline de la Mor.

Cedric Steinhauser. Device. Sable, a bend sinister between a tower and a bear passant, and on a chief Or three sledge hammers sable.

This is starting to push at the limits of complexity. The fact that there are only two tinctures keeps it from going over the line.

Submitted as Clann an Ceann, we have corrected the grammar as the submitter's forms allowed.

Submitted as Ealasaid gan Dubhglas, we have corrected the grammar as the submitter's forms allowed.

Versus Maria Mindalova (SCA), Azure, an almond flower proper, the British 23rd Division, Azure, a rose argent, Besington (Papworth, p. 867), Azure, a quatrefoil argent, and the Royal Burgh of Inverberbie (Public Heraldry, p. 119), Azure, a rose argent barbed and seeded proper, there are two CVDs: one for addition of the compass star, and a second for moving the flower to sinister base (the rationale being that this move is not forced this way by the addition of the compass star; were the two charges in fess or in pale, which would be the normal placement of two charges alone on a field, this would not be the case). The same count and reasoning applies versus the Barony of Rivenstar (SCA), Azure, a riven star argent.

Rosabel de Burgundy. Name and device. Argent, on a bend wavy between two horses passant purpure, three roses argent.

Sufficient similar exemplars were given in the documentation to convince us that Rosabel is formed in a period manner.

Siegfried Conrad Georg Heydrich. Name for Die Wandervögeln.

Ulfhedin Ragnarsson. Name.

Wulflinde Aethelwulf. Name.

WEST

Agravaine the Hunter. Name and device. Per chevron sable and Or, a chevron embattled counterchanged and in dexter chief a crux ansata or.

The crux ansata could as easily be blazoned an ankh.

There was some discussion regarding whether the position of the tree on the field (in dexter chief) needed to be blazoned specifically. It was our feeling that since the gules tree could not overlie the gules portion of the field, that its position would be intuitively obvious and therefore did not need to be specifically blazoned.

Deirdre Maire of Leinster. Device. Argent, a pale gules, in chief three Latin crosses fleury counterchanged.

Ekaterina von Pferdberg. Change of name from Katrina Jonsdottir and change of device. Per fess indented sable and azure, a dance between three crescents and a sun, Or. (Her former device, "Per fess indented sable and azure, a dance between three crescents and a lion dormant, Or" becomes a badge.)

Please tell the submitter to draw the dance much wider than it was on the emblazon form.

This was accidentally placed in the "Returns" section of the June LoAR.

Ian Gearr-sheallach. Name.

Laurel was somewhat skeptical regarding the hyphen in the byname, but it does appear in the submitter's documentation.

Mutahara bint Haakim. Name and device. Per pale azure and sable, a decrescent between five mullets, two, two and one, argent.

Rainald Knutson. Name.

Robert Ringweaver. Name.

[Irreverent comment from the meeting: "Why don't they just call him 'mailman'?"]

William of the Two Hawks. Name and device. Per pale sable and vert, two hawks rising respectant, wings elevated and displayed, and on a chief embattled argent, three Latin crosses bottony gules.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED.

ATLANTIA

Fergus MacDair. Device. Argent, three acorns, slips conjoined in a triskelion vert.

Conflict with Aikenhead of that Ilk (Papworth, p. 888), Argent, three acorns vert. There is only one CVD, for the arrangement in a triskelion.

Conflict with Kazimierez Zdzislaw (SCA), Per chevron sable and gules, a chevronel Or between a point dexter conjoined with a point sinister and an eagle displayed argent, armed, langued, membered, and crowned with a maple leaf Or. There is one CVD, for the change of type of the secondaries. Additionally, walls are normally throughout, and are masoned as well as embattled. There was some question among the commenters as to how this should be blazoned.

Conflict with Harborne (Papworth, p. 835), Gules, a fish naiant argent and with Visage (id.), Gules, a salmon in fess argent. There is one CVD for the field. We could not see giving another for type of fish.

No one was able to come up with a good blazon for the "splash" or "jet of water", rendering reproducibility of the design from the blazon unlikely. Additionally, there is a conflict with Sesongall (Papworth, p. 608), Argent, a cross paty vert. There is one CVD, for the addition of the tertiaries.

Conflict with the Order of the Wa'a Oar, registered to the Barony of the Western Seas. By V.1, addition (or removal) of an adjectival phrase is not sufficient to clear.

This was pended from the April Laurel meeting because no paperwork was submitted supporting permission to use the name and because it was deemed advisable to present some supporting evidence for the willingness of the group to honor a single member in this manner. As no such supporting documentation has been received, this is being returned.

Conflict with Duryn the Red (SCA), Gules, upon a chevron Or a wheel of five spokes between two double-axes gules. There is a CVD for the addition of the secondaries, but nothing for the change of type only of tertiaries. Conflict also with Rose (Papworth, p. 528), Gules,m on a chevron Or between three horseshoes argent, three roses gules, with the same count. Other conflicts with similar counts are: Offerton (Papworth, p. 479), Cobham (Papworth, p. 485), and Dickman (Papworth, p. 498). Versus O'Cullen (Papworth, p. 517), Gules, on a chevron Or between three hands argent, a garb gules enclosed by three trefoils proper, there is a CVD for changing the type and number of tertiaries, and another for changing the type of one-half (by definition, see Cover Letter) of the secondary group.

As a number of commenters noted, the languages of the locative do not match (German and Welsh).

Alan Jacobsen. Device. Argent, on a cross pointed azure, a mullet of six points elongated to base argent, within a bordure azure.

Conflict with Sibbald (Papworth, p. 634), Argent, a square-pierced cross moline within a bordure azure. There is a CVD for the type of cross, but with all the good-will we could muster, we could not find sufficient difference between these two crosses. There is no difference for the changes to type of "tertiary".

Conflicts with Stefan of Seawood (SCA), Azure, upon a sun Or an eagle displayed sable, and with Akbar Khayamm (SCA), Pean, on a ball of flame Or a wolf's head erased sable.

Visual conflict with Drake (Papworth, p. 984), Argent, a wyvern, wings displayed, gules. There is a clear CVD for the changes to the field, but the overwhelming visual similarities between this winged serpent and a wyvern (removing the legs and changing the wings from "bat-like" to feathered), in the same position, are too much to grant another.

Conflict with M'Haffie (Papworth, p. 1006), Vert, on a pale wavy argent three trefoils slipped of the field. There is one CVD for field tincture only.

There was a strong consensus among the commenters who know something of Russian that the byname is incorrectly formed. Would the submitter consider the more correctly formed "Tisiachivólosova" or "Tisiachivólosina"? In spite of its appearance in the Pictorial Dictionary, we are dubious of the acceptability of the "Moorish hair brooch" as an heraldic charge. The only extant registration was in 1975 to Alysse of Graedon.

In spite of its appearance in the Pictorial Dictionary, we are dubious of the acceptability of the "Moorish hair brooch" as an heraldic charge. The only extant registration was in 1975 to Alysse of Graedon.

Aelis Helen. Device. Per fess Or and vert, a hedgehog sable between two slippers and a musical note counterchanged.

Withdrawn at the request of the submitter.

This was pended from the April Laurel meeting. As stated then by Mistress Alisoun, "as status of the heirs is not recognized by Corpora, we do not feel it appropriate to register arms for the 'office'."

Since "arienne" (by the submitter's own documentation) is a French word (meaning "follower of Arius"), we need documentation for the use of Arienne as a name. As the submitter's forms allowed no changes, we could not subsitute the similar sounding, documented form "Ariane".

Despite Laurel's personal feelings on the matter, in formal and informal polls taken by a number of heralds (including Laurel) of both heralds and general populace members a significant percentage of Society members (in my poll, over half) had problems with the pentacle on the grounds of offensiveness because of association with black magic and "Satanism", especially given the recent publicity in relation to events in California in which inverted pentacles (only a 38° rotation of the charge) were prominently displayed in a number of newspapers and news magazines. Negative reactions ranged from being uncomfortable with the charge to a forthright "If I had to face that on the field I would not fight." As a consequence, I believe that a significant percentage of the populace finds the charge offensive and so cannot register it.

Although submitted as Finula MacCaul, the submitter's forms used the above spelling, which is identical to the submitter's legal name. Per the Administrative Handbook, Protected Items I., this cannot be registered by the Society.

The precedents disallowing compony bordures sharing a tincture with the field are all fairly clear, the discussion during the Rules revision seemed in general to support the ban, and most of the examples cited by Brigantia in support of this submission relate to royal armory and are few enough that they may probably be considered exceptions to the general rule. As stated by several of my predecessors, we try to follow the general rule, not the exception. The reasons for the original ban on compony bordures sharing a tincture with the field, viz., visual confusion, appear to be more compelling than the reasons for allowing such bordures. The ban on compony bordures sharing a tincture with the field stands.

No documentation was presented supporting the use of Thor, by itself, as a given name in period. All of the examples found by commenters used it as part of a compound (Thorvald, Thorbjorn, etc.). We (and a number of submitters) would welcome such documentation.

Though blazoned on the LoI as "Azure, a raven's head couped and in canton a mullet of nine points argent", the blazon above much more closely matches the emblazon. As such, it conflicts with Kathryn Seabright (registered elsewhere in this LoAR), Azure, in bend a compass star argent and a dogwood blossom argent, barbed vert. There is a CVD for the difference between a raven's head and a dogwood blossom, but nothing for the change to the mullet. (Regarding the request to check the forms for his device, the raven's head there is erased.)

Ilya Vsevolod Fominich. Device. Per bend sinister countervairy gules and Or and countervairy Or and sable, a dragonfly argent.

Conflict with Mairghread Maire Draigdaimhalachd (SCA), Per saltire azure and vert, a dragonfly tergiant displayed argent, orbed Or. There is only one CVD, for the changes to the field.

Ciáran Fionn Mac Cuillean. Name and badge for Wu Lung Household. [Fieldless] A lotus blossom affronty argent between in pale two oriental dragons statant unduly in annulo alternately argent crined sable and sable crined argent, and in fess the classic Chinese characters "wu" and "lung" sable.

While the submitter's dictionary documentation supported "wu" and "lung" as meaning "black dragon", there was some question of presumption, since the translation for "lung" here referred to "an emblem of imperialism". We would like additional documentation that there is not, indeed, any relation between "lung" as used here and the Chinese emperor. The badge is far too complex; it does not create a "self-contained design" as specified in RfS VIII.5 (Fieldless Style), and contains disconnected charges of both metal and color. We do not feel that the ban on fieldless badges containing disconnected charges of both metal and color, written into the old rules in AR13b, has been overturned by the new rules.

It was the consensus of the commenters that the primary does not have sufficient contrast with the field for ready identifiability. With the exception of the heart above the juggler's head, the hearts are not identifiable at all. The use of two types of alternating charges on a bordure is very poor style. And we are not at all certain that "juggling" is an heraldic posture. All in all, this just has too many problems to register.

Conflict with Stafford (Woodward), Or, a chevron gules, and with Carrick (Papworth, p. 375), Or, a chevron gules. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the secondaries.

While it is tempting to state that lightning flashes (also known colloquially as "shazams") have been banned so long that "the origins of this precedent are lost in the mists of antiquity", they were in fact banned first by Master Wilhelm von Schlüssel in his LoAR of August 1983, p. 6 (which is certainly before the current Laurel's time). Please recommend to the submitter the heraldic lightning bolt, an embattled line with a barb at both ends.

The "unicorn" is not a unicorn but a "unicornate horse", which has been disallowed for some time. Additionally, the bordure, as noted in the LoI, is incorrectly drawn. As what is registered is the emblazon, and the emblazon as submitted cannot be registered, please have the submitter redraw the bordure with the embattling on the inner edge and draw a proper heraldic unicorn. No conflicts were noted by the commenters.

The lion loses its identifiability because of the paly division, becoming oddly shaped blue and white stripes on the gules portion of the field (this was remarked upon by all at the Laurel meeting).

Conflicts with Booty (Papworth, p. 911), Argent, a lion's head erased sable and with Anebairn MacPharlaine of Arrochar (SCA), Per pale azure and argent, a lion's head erased sable. In each case there is one CVD, for the changes to the field.

Although the tincture of the horn was accidentally left out of the LoI, most of the commenters guessed the correct tincture. Unfortunately, it conflicts with Horn (Papworth, p. 948), Azure, a buglehorn argent, banded Or, stringed of the third and gules. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the secondaries.

Conflict with Lowri Amarawd o'r Maes (SCA), Or, a basil flower purpure, slipped and leaved vert, with one CVD for change of number, and with Sharon de Mattos da Silveria (SCA), Argent, chapé ployé azure, a sprig of three roses of Sharon flowers purpure, slipped and leaved vert, with one CVD for field.

Gyronny of two colors is no longer permitted under the Rules for Submission.

The submitter's own documentation spelled the byname as svartklæddur. Since her forms permitted no changes, we are forced to return the name for improper construction. Had she allowed changes, we could simply have dropped the hyphen, made the "k" lower case, and added the "u" before the final "r". As it is ....

We could not verify the submitter's documentation for the patronymic. The closest similar name we could discover in Geirr Bassi was Snæbjorn, on p. 14. The submitter might consider constructing a patronymic from this documented form.

Conflict with Niccolo Corvino (SCA), Per fess sable and ermine, in chief a lion dormant argent. There is only one CVD, for the change to the field.

Adara of Silverwood. Name.

No one was able to document Adara (Loughead is not considered a reliable source and should not be used without corroborating documentation from other sources).

Conflicts with Dernley (Papworth, p. 1100), Sable, a sun in splendour Or, and with Rale (Papworth, p. 1100), Sable, the sun Or, with only one CVD for the addition of the tertiary. Conflicts with Jean-Louis de la Bête (SCA), Sable, on a sun Or a lion rampant reguardant sable, all within a ressure demi-flory Or, and with Eleric Sonn Hvittann (SCA), Sable, on a sun Or an anvil sable, within a bordure Or, with a CVD for deleting the secondary, but nothing for change of type only of tertiary.

This exceeds the complexity limits given in VIII.1.a. Counting the words on the bordure as a single type of charge, we have five types of charge and four tinctures.

The use of forceny has been disallowed since May, 1980, because it is an ambiguous term. Please make them either rampant or salient. There is also a conflict with Arianwen of Urquart (SCA), Vert, a horned pegasus salient argent, armed and unguled azure. There is one CVD, for changing the number of charges.

Conflict with Browning (Papworth, p. 38), Azure, three bars wavy, with one CVD for the addition of the compass star.

Gyronny of more than eight of two colors was not allowed under the old rules; gyronny of two colors is not allowed at all under the new ones.

As Faigunn of the Silver Shiruken's device could as easily (and correctly) be blazoned as Per pale Or and sable, on a pale gules a mullet of eight points pierced argent, this is still in conflict, with a CVD for the changes to the field only.

Conflict with Boncoeur (SCA), Ermine, on a sun gules a heart Or. There is a CVD for the field, but nothing for the change to type only of the tertiary.

Cian the Smith. Badge for Clann an Chinn. Vert, in pall a key, a bell, and a sword, all Or, handles to center.

This is classic "slot-machine" heraldry, with three different charges in a standard heraldic arrangement.

There are problems with this device. One is the non-heraldic arrangement of the tertiaries on the saltire, which is not period style. A second is the combination of the surname Bruce with a variant of the arms of Brus (Papworth, p. 1063), Or, a saltire and a chief azure. (While there is adequate technical difference, all of the difference comes from the addition of tertiaries; combined with the name, this is problematical.) And there is conflict with Cooper (Papworth, p. 1065), Or, a saltire azure, on a chief of the second three leopards heads guardant, couped of the first, spotted sable, and ducally crowned argent. There is one CVD for the addition of the tertiaries to the saltire, but nothing for change of type only of the tertiaries on the chief.

Conflicts with Maria Mindalova (SCA), Azure, an almond flower proper, the British 23rd Division, Azure, a rose argent, Besington (Papworth, p. 867), Azure, a quatrefoil argent, and the Royal Burgh of Inverberbie (Public Heraldry, p. 119), Azure, a rose argent barbed and seeded proper. In each case there is one CVD, for the addition of the tertiary.

Thelic of Darktide. Change of device. Quarterly Or and argent, a panther's head erased sable, incensed gules.

Conflict with the badge for the Queen's Escort of An Tir ("Quarterly Or and argent, a lion's head erased sable, crowned, environed of a wreath of hearts, points to center, alternating with roses gules, barbed and seeded proper."). This was accidentally placed in the "Approvals" section of the June LoAR.

ATLANTIA

Gillian Clayshaper. Device. Azure, a torch Or between and maintained by two hawks rising respectant, wings elevated and addorsed, and in base an arrowhead argent.

The tincture of the torch was accidentally left out of the blazon in the LoI. This submission is being pended until the November Laurel meeting so that it can be properly researched for possible conflicts.

Indulf M'Clymont. Device. Per bend sinister argent and vert semy of quatrefoils Or, in chief a quatrefoil inverted bendwise sinister vert, all within a bordure engrailed per bend sinister azure and Or.

The tincture of the quatrefoil was accidentally left out of the blazon in the LoI. This submission is being pended until the November Laurel meeting so that it can be properly researched for possible conflicts.
