Edmund de la Haye. Badge. Per pale azure and Or, a crane in his vigilance counterchanged collared and chained gules.

Elianor Talbot of Wynchester. Name.
Submitted as Elianor Talbot of Winchester, we have changed the locative to Wynchester per the client's request.

Elisabeth de Rossignol. Badge. (Fieldless) A hawk's lure Or.
The submission had the name in the form éisabeth de Rossignol. Checking the forms submitted when the name was registered, while the documentation references the name in the accented form, the submission forms do not have an accent.

Gareth Tancred Wilfirth. Badge. (Fieldless) A horned owl affronty azure.

Gareth Tancred Wilfirth. Badge. Per saltire Or and gules, a horned owl affronty azure.

Jacob Seumas MacGregor. Alternative persona name of Jacob the Shameless.

Mountain Edge, Shire of. Device. Per fess Or and sable, a lion rampant counterchanged on a chief sable three laurel wreaths Or.

Muirgheal nic Dhonnachaidh. Device. Azure, a sealion between three estoiles Or a chief wavy argent.

Rhiannon Saint Chamberlayne. Device. Argent, a phoenix gules rising from flames proper a bordure rayonny sable.

Seumas Camshronach an Lochabair. Badge. (Fieldless) In cross four Lochaber axes hafts to center Or overall a wyvern's head couped contourny sable.

Valley Wold, Shire of. Badge. (Fieldless) A cross miller gyronny Or and gules.

ATLANTIA

Anne Balfour of Markinch. Name and device. Ermine, a pale endorsed azure.

Atlantia, Consort of. Device change. Per pale argent and azure, on a fess wavy cotised counterchanged an escallop erminois, overall a wreath of roses proper.
Effective with the January 1997 Laurel meeting, any changes to royal armory (king/kingdom/queen/consort/crown prince/crown princess/prince/princess/heir/heiress) must follow the same procedure that any official SCA group must for changing their arms. However, since this ruling was not in place when Atlantia submitted their device change, and additionally since they have provided a signed letter from the crown, seneschal and principal herald, and since Laurel is fully aware that the populace was polled on this issue, we see no reason not to register this change.

Atlantia, Kingdom of. Change of designator.

varr Óásson. Name
Submitted as varr Olásson we have corrected this by adding the missing accent.

Brenna Kara. Device. Or, a dragon sejant erect affronty, wings displayed, facing sinister vert atop a mountain sable and in chief two suns gules.

Joseph of Aberdeen. Device. Gules, a Latin cross bottony between in bend two pairs of compasses and in bend sinister two winged grenades Or.

Arabella de la Mer. Device change. Vert, a dragon passant within a bordure fleury Or.

Chréienne Angèe de Courtenay. Name. A more period form would be Chrestien(n)e Angle de Courtenay.

Ealasaid Cathasach. Device. Azure, on a bend gules fimbriated, between a lion salient guardant contourny Or and a unicorn salient argent, three fleurs-de-lys palewise Or.

Esmerelda of Dun Or. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Per pale Or and sable, two fir trees and a mountain of three peaks counterchanged.
Submitted with the name Esmerelda de Andalucia.

Ludwig von Ravenstein. Device. Per pale gules and Or, a raven displayed sable perched atop three annulets interlaced two and one counterchanged.

Marie Elaine de Womwell. Badge. [Fieldless] On a goutte de larmes, a fleur-de-lys argent.
While there are some period exemplars of gouttes shaped like a modern tear drop, the majority of period evidence shows them to look much more like a thin drop with a wavy tail. Those gouttes are not voidable or eligible for X.4.a.ii. Therefore, effective the January 1997 Laurel meeting, (allowing any gouttes in the pipeline to get processed under the old precedent) gouttes will not be considered voidable charges, nor will they be eligible for X.4.a.ii.

Morgan O'Daire. Household name for House Wolfestead.
Wolvestead would be more characteristic of all but the very end of our period.

Seosaidh MacFaoilchére. Name.
Submitted as Seòaidh MacFaoilchére, we have dropped the accent on the first name as it appears to be out of period.

Tristana Raefenloch. Badge. [Fieldless] On a snowflake azure a fleur-de-lys Or.
Submitted as a badge for Household de Winter, the household name has been returned.

DRACHENWALD

Aarnimetsä Barony of. Order name. Katkenneen kynä ritarikunta.
A question was raised about the order name, as to whether it might be presumptuous since the root is ritari which means knight. However, Ritarikunta is no more nor less than the Finnish word for an order of this type; that it is translated to English as order of knighthood is because there is no single word 'order' in Finnish. It is true that the word is a compound noun consisting of ritari 'knight' and kunta 'a collective; municipality'. Similarly, tiedekunta 'faculty' consists of tiede 'science' and kunta, and lautakunta 'council' of lauta 'plank' and kunta. It is one of the characteristics of the Finnish language that the meaning of a compound noun is not necessarily, or even generally, simply the sum of the meanings of its parts. Based on this, we find the order name acceptable for SCA usage.

Andreas Tillman von Severin. Device. Or, a hunting horn gules stringed azure and on a chief checky argent and gules a label of four points azure.
This was registered to the submitter 6/95.

Aros, Shire of. Badge. Or, an owl volant guardant wings addorsed sable and in base a trimount gules. The group's arms have an owl that looks virtually identical to this one.

Hayko Wickram. Name.

Insula Draconis, Shire of. Device. Barry wavy argent and azure, two dragons combattant gules maintaining between themselves a sword, all within a laurel wreath or. The redrawing clears the visual conflict with Thomas Hickson (SCA), with which this was returned 2/94.

Magdalena Francisca de Goya. Device. Purpure, a sun argent eclipsed purpure within a bordure argent ermined purpure.
This was registered to the submitter 6/95.

Olaf Eriksson önklo. Device. Or, an eagle's leg erased sable and a chief urdy azure.
This was registered to the submitter 6/95.

Uto von den Süpfen. Name and device. Sable, a pentagon gules fimbriated Or.
While the name "of the swamps" seems unlikely, there are areas where more than one swamp abounds, so it is possible.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the pentagon larger.

Vladimir Bugaev. Device. Per pale gules and sable, on a pile cotised argent an elephant's head cabossed gules.
This was registered to the submitter 6/95.

Wieland Wickram. Name (see RETURNS for device).

EAST

Ann Sarasin. Name.

Anna Eisenkopf. Name and device. Vert, two hound's heads couped respectant Or.

Baldric of Blackwater. Name.

Brannat Dub. Name and device. Azure, on the crossbar of a tau cross throughout between two mullets argent, three ravens sable.
Submitted as Brannat Dhubh we have put it in a more acceptable form.

Bríe níDheáhaidh. Name.
Submitted as Bride ni Déghaidh, we have added the necessary accents, and aspirated the patronymic.

Brychan ap Frideric. Name and device. Argent, a tower sable, on a chief gules a vol argent.

Cadifor Cynan. Name.

Cerridwen of Heygate. Name.

Delphine du Dauphiné Device. Azure, six colt's foot blossoms in profile Or, a chief indented argent.
The submitted picture is extremely close to the drawing of colt's foot blossom's found in Gerard's Herbal (1633 edition), pg. 811. Given that the book was published in our "gray" area, colt's foot blossoms should be acceptable charges in the SCA.

Eoin Cerd. Name and device. Vert, three rabbits courant in annulo conjoined by the ears argent.
Submitted as Eoin Ceard, we have changed the surname to a more likely form.

Gwendolen Lambert. Name and device. Per fess purpure and vert, a chevron Or between two roses and a lamb statant argent.
Normally we do not permit the "baby" forms of an animal. For the sake of the cant on the name, Lambert, we are permitting it here.

Gwenhwyvar Telynores. Name and device. Purpure, a harp between three increscent moons argent.
Submitted as Gwenhwyvar Telenores, we have changed the byname to the correct feminine form per Harpy.

Hartmut Schultze. Name.
Submitted as Hartmut von Schultze, we have dropped the inappropriate von.

Ian Wainwright. Name and device. Argent, a wagon enflamed proper.

Isenwulf Thorolfssone. Name.
Submitted as Isenwulf Thorolfsson, we have changed the byname to a more reasonable form.

Jana Haviland. Device. Vert, an open book between three roses argent.

Katja Davidova Orlova Khazarina. Name change from Katja Orlova

Lídain níDheirdre Chaomháaigh. Name.
Submitted as Liadain níDheirdre Chaomháaigh, we have added the necessary accent to the given name.

Lukas Bontyne. Name and device. Vert, a stork statant, dexter foot raised, wings elevated and addorsed, maintaining in its sinister foot a gauntlet, on a chief enarched Or two gauntlets azure.

Maire ingen Echmarcaig. Name.

Montevale, Shire of. Badge. (Fieldless) A stag springing Or charged with an ermine spot sable.
The submission raised the issue of a visual conflict with Philip of the Golden Stag (SCA) Bendy gules and argent, a stag rampant erminois. There is no visual conflict because of the difference in the fields. Visual conflict takes the whole submission into account as a visual whole. There are three technical CD's between these two submissions, one for field, one for tincture of the primary, and one for addition of the tertiary.

Octavius Gellius. Name.
Submitted as Octavianus Gellius, we have changed the given name to make the entire name more plausible.

Owen the Mad. Name and device. Per pale sable and argent, a decrescent moon and an increscent moon, a base engrailed counterchanged argent and gules.

Philippa Graves. Name.

Rose Pipes. Name and device. Sable, a natural tiger rampant contourny Or marked sable, in chief three roses argent.

Ségíe ingen Anmchada. Name. Submitted as Ségine ingen Anmchada, we have added the necessary accent to the given name.

Stefan Alexsander Bäenreiter. Name and device. Sable, in pale a mullet and a bear passant argent, a bordure compony argent and azure.

Zachary Wolfhunter. Device change. Argent, a wolf rampant maintaining two arrows inverted sable and on a chief enarched gules a demi-sun Or.

MIDDLE

Bran MacDavid of Windhaven. Name and device. Argent, a bend sable cotised purpure, in chief a raven sable.

Chasteau Nouveau, Canton of. Name.

Damian Grafton of Yorkshire. Name and device. Vert, a shoe reversed and on a chief Or an arrow vert.

Elizabella Marchant. Name.

Eugenia of Baysham. Device. Argent, a bunch of grapes, slipped and leaved proper, on a chief azure three decrescents Or.

Heggr Skapti. Name only (see returns for device).

Ivan Matfeevich Rezansky. Name and device. Vert, a bee proper winged between three octofoils Or.

Jonathus Yuebanc. Device. Per bend sinister argent and gules, a caduceus sable and a mortar and pestle argent.

Katinka von Trifels. Device. Argent, a bear s head erased contourny sable and on a chief per pale gules and azure three estoiles of eight rays Or.

Konrad Josef Urbanowicz. Name. Submitted as Konrad Jóef Urbanowicz, we have eliminated the accent to make the name be more likely.

Mikael O Morchoe. Name and device. Argent vˆtu vert, a trident gules and in chief two gladii Or.

Pietro Niccolo da San Tebaldo. Name and device. Or, a pall inverted azure surmounted by an orle counterchanged. We allow an ordinary surmounted by another to be counterchanged. While this is not good style, it is at worst one wierdness.

Rudiger von Stuttgart. Name and device. Per pale azure and sable, a flanged mace bendwise sinister between two crosses formy argent.

Sarra Bossard. Household name for Confrerie du Lapin and household badge. Azure, a coney salient argent within a mascle of four swords conjoined point to hilt proper.

Shlomo Korobenik. Name.

OUTLANDS

Cordelia fitzRobert of York. Device. Gules, a demi-sun in splendor Or issuant from a cloud argent.
After much thought we have decided that there is a CD for the addition of the cloud, so this is clear of Lothar Gottfried con Katzenellenbogen (SCA) Gules semy of comets inverted, issuant from base a demi-sun Or, and Shauna Branwen (SCA) Per saltire vert and sable, a demi-sun Or. Against Edward III of England (important mundane armory) (Fieldless) A sunburst Or, issuant from clouds proper., the second CD comes from the difference between a sunburst - bunches of spikes and a demi-sun - a demi-roundel with spikes sticking out.

Eirik i Sandvik. Name and device. Vert, a pile inverted barry wavy argent and azure between two garbs Or and a chief indented argent.
Submitted as Eirikr Sandvik, we have changed the name to more period form, per the submitter's request.

Elspeth the Semstress of Dunkeld. Name and device. Or, two needles in saltire sable between flaunches purpure.
Submitted as Elspeth the Seamstress of Dunkeld, we have changed Seamstress to a documented form. RfS.VI.1 states that "In some cases, use of an otherwise inoffensive occupational surname in a territorial context may make it appear to be a title or rank." However, the operative word here is may. We do not feel that Seamstress/Semstress is a title/rank.

Hywel Gain. Name and device. Counter-ermine, a bend ermine.
Submitted as Hywel Gaines, we have changed the surname to a documented form.

Karl von Schattenburg. Badge. [Fieldless] A seeblatt Or.
A possible conflict was called with Elizabeth Talbot of Meath (SCA) [Fieldless] A heart Or pierced in saltire by two needles vert. An inspection of her submission shows that the needles are indeed large enough to add the necessary difference.

Llwyd Emrys. Name Change from Ambrosius the Grey.
Note: Emrys Llwyd would be the translation of his original name.

Madog of Glastonbury. Name.

Marie Solange Chantal de Sainte Genevieve. Device. Gyronny argent ermined azure and azure, a caltrop within a bordure Or.

Moyra MacColla. Name.

Rashiqah Amatulbarri bint Azhar al-Kahirawayyiah. Name change from Rhianwen ferch Morgant. Torcail Gilleghaolain. Device change. Azure, three bars and in chief three mullets argent.

SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE ANACHRONISM, INC.

Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. Heraldic title. al Jamal Herald.

TRIMARIS

Angharad Clog Llwyd ferch Madog ap Maredudd. Name

Bjön Gerhardsö. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Elspeth Islay of Glen Meara. Badge. Barry wavy argent and azure, two sea-horses respectant crossed in saltire vert.
While somewhat modern in design, the positions of the bodies of the seahorses is within our parameters for artistic license.

Gothen Klansson. Name and device. Or, a saltire gules between four roundels azure.

Iain of Rannach. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Isenwulf Hakonson. Name.
Submitted as Isenwulf Hakonsson, we have changed the surname to a more likely form.

James Malcolm Helme. Device. Argent, on a pile between two catamounts combattant sable a sword inverted proper transfixing a skull argent.
Note: this is not four layers since we do not count overall charges as adding another layer.

Jason the Fletcher. Device. Per bend sable and vert, on a bend argent an arrow inverted sable, between a sun and a crescent Or.

Justin of Kent. Device. Argent, three crosses crosslet sable, on a chief gules a quill pen fesswise Or.

Katerina Isabella di Firenze. Badge. [Fieldless] On a triskele azure a fleur-de-lys Or.

Kiara Rowland. Device. Azure, two natural seahorses respectant Or within an orle of crescents argent.

Llawryn ap Gruuffydd ap Cadwaladr. Name and device. Lozengy azure and Or, a sword inverted argent hilted overall a wolf's head erased contourny sable.
Submitted as Llawryn ap Gruuffydd ap Cadwalladr, we have corrected the final name to the proper spelling.

nan Críth Tuatha, Stronghold of. Device. Argent, a sealion gules within a laurel wreath vert in chief two lymphads sails furled gules.

Siobhan inghean Meadhbha. Name and device. Purpure, a semy of amphoras Or, a sea-serpent ondoyant within a bordure invected argent.

Stagridge, Shire of. Name.
Submitted as Stag Ridge we have combined the two words to make it into a more period form.

Tamara Borgia. Device. Per pale purpure and sable, a cat statant contourny argent, a mount barry wavy azure and argent.

Tóas Skotakollr. Device. Azure, a lion statant in chief two mullets, in base a point pointed, all within a bordure Or.
Normally we do not allow a base and a bordure of the same tincture, see the return of the device of Isabel of Biconyll, Or, a beacon sable flamed gules atop a mount vert, a bordure vert semy of oak leaves Or., 3/94, where Laurel said "The mount has zero contrast with the bordure, making the base of the device very confusing visually..." However, since that was not mentioned in the previous return, and since the submitter complied with the redraw called for in the return, this is being registered to the submitter. This does not however permit the use of a base or chief of the same color as the bordure.

WEST

Anke von Annewillere. Name and device. Per fess wavy sable and vert, in chief a decrescent, a bordure Or.

Byran Ciúnchalaidh. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Submitted as Byran Ciúnchlaidh, we have corrected the byname to the proper form. Byran is the submitter's mundane name.

Chrisegon de la Croix of Ravenswood. Name.
Submitted as Krisegon de la Croix du Montagne of Ravenswood, we have changed the given name to a documented form. Additionally, we have removed one of the locatives to make the name more plausible. Please inform the submitter that the name Chrisegon was usually feminine in period.

Colin Andrew MacCrimmon. Name.

Dafydd Llantrisant. Name.

Daviti Vignoli. Name.
Submitted as Davito Vignoli, we have corrected the given name to a documented form.

Donal Blackmere. Name.
Submitted as Donal Blackmear, we have corrected the byname to a documented form.

Gregor Vöö . Name and device. Sable, a Grecian sphynx couchant Or, on a bordure argent, three crescents sable.
Submitted in kingdom as Gregor Vöö, it was reversed and submitted as Vöö Gregor. Since this is not a wholly Hungarian name, which would have the surname first, but rather a Hungarian/German one, we see no reason not to put this into the form the submitter prefers.

Helena d'Évreux. Device. Per fess Or and azure, a sinister canton azure.

Peter du Gant Noir. Change of device. Per pale gules and Or, on a gauntlet aversant sable, a cross formy per pale Or and gules, all within an orle of chain argent.
His current device, "Per pale gules and Or, on a glove aversant sable, a cross formy per pale Or and gules.", registered 6/88 is hereby released.

Rachel the Untame. Name and device. Gules, a chevron and on a chief Or, a lion couchant gules.
Submitted as Rachel the Untamed, we have only been able to find one example of a period epithet in a participle form. Therefore, we have corrected the byname to a more likely form.

Rainulf Falconet. Name and device. Per fess indented argent and azure, a dance fleury at the points counterchanged and in base a fleur-de-lys argent.

THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK:

AN TIR

None!

ATLANTIA

None!

CAID

Esmerelda de Andalucia. Name.
This is being returned for conflict with Esmeralda la Andaluza. The armory has been registered under the holding name Esmerelda of Dun Or.

Tristana de Winter. Name change from Tristana Raefenloch and badge. [Fieldless] A snowflake azure conjoined with eight fleurs-de-lys in annulo, points outward, Or.
The name is being returned for being a non-period form. While the name Winter can be documented as being period, no-one could document the form de Winter, either for this submission, or in the submission of Emma de Winter which was returned 9/95. The submitter will not accept changes, so the name must be returned.
The badge is being returned for non-identifiability. While the snowflake is grandfathered to the submitter, with the conjoined fleur-de-lys it loses identifiability.

Tristana de Winter. Household name House de Winter and badge. [Fieldless] On a snowflake azure a fleur-de-lys Or.
The household name is being returned for being in a non-period form. No one could document the name with a de. We would not register House of Smith; though we would register House Smith, therefore we cannot register House de Winter. The household badge has been registered under the submitter's registered name, Tristana Raufenloch.

DRACHENWALD

Aléa Szélvá. Name.
Hungarian practice is to put the given name after the surname, which practice was not followed here. Without evidence of Hungarian's using the standard practice of given name surname, and since the client will not take changes, the submission will have to be returned.
Furthermore, the documentation on Szélvá comes from Hanks and Hodges, which is not a reliable source. If the submitter wishes to use that surname, better documentation will need to be provided.

Michael Apenteger. Name.
According to the submitter Apenteger means "Collector of the Bronze Tax". It does not mean that, and no one in the College could figure out what is did mean or find a way to justify the surname. Furthermore, we have grave doubts about the likelihood of such a name having been used.

Wieland Wickram. Device. Azure, on a pale between two compass stars argent a bird close perched on a sledgehammer and in base an anvil sable.
This is being returned for slot machine. The bird, the sledgehammer and the anvil are three dissimilar charges in a standard arrangement.

EAST

Eibhlí níChaoimh. Device. Per pale azure and Or, two wyverns erect respectant, conjoined at the breast, counterchanged, on a chief argent three fleurs-de-lys azure.
As drawn the "wyverns," which lack legs, blur the line between wyverns and pithons. There was no consensus at the Laurel meeting as whether these were wyverns or pithons. Therefore this is being returned for a redraw, to be draw clearly as one or the other.

Morien MacBan. Device. Pean, on a chalice Or overflowing with water argent, a cross bottony gules.
As drawn the submission does not look like the exemplar of the Salter's Guild salt shaker. Therefore, this is being returned for nonreproduciblity.

MIDDLE

Heggr Skapti. Device. Azure, in pale a winged lion rampant and a drakkar Or, sails paly argent and gules.
This is being returned for conflict with Aron Rose of Nairn (SCA), Azure, a winged lion rampant, between its forepaws a rose Or. There is a CD for the addition of the ship, but not for the (effectively) maintained charge.

OUTLANDS

Elaina de Sinistre. Badge. Azure, on a plate an apple gules, slipped and leaved proper.
This is being returned for conflict with Rhithyn yr Gwlad yr Hav (SCA), Azure, a plate charged with a cauldron and a domestic cat in its curiosity sable, with only one CD for the change in the tertiaries.
Even if there had been no conflict, this would have had to be returned since we received no forms for this submission.

Kamitatsu (no) Toshimoto. Name appeal.
The submitter appeals the return by Laurel in 9/95 of his name Kamitatsu Toshimoto, which was returned because Kamitasu was "not an attested and does not seem to follow any of the period Japanese surname patterns discussed by Solveig Throndardottir in Name Construction in Mediæal Japan." He claims that Kamitatsu would be a viable constructed Japanese name.
Unfortunately, he does not provide any evidence other than assertion that Kamitatsu follows Japanese name construction. Lady Solveig Thorondardottir, who Laurel contacted in reference to this name, is also unable to provide support for this construction. Therefore, this will have to be returned. Laurel suggests that the submitter contact Lady Solveig, who would be glad to help him construct a correct Japanese name.

TRIMARIS

Bjön Gerhardsö. Device. Per chevron inverted azure and sable, a chevron inverted argent
This is being returned for conflict Danahild nic Choluim (SCA) Per chevron inverted azure and sable, a chevron inverted between a dove volant and three harps argent," and Amber Blackwood (SCA) "Per chevron inverted azure and sable, a chevron inverted between an arrow fesswise and three decrescents argent. In both cases there is but one CD, for the addition of the secondaries.
There appears to be some confusion about the concept of complete difference of charge. In cases where there would be no chance of confusing the two primary charges, and the submitted armory is simple, even though there is only one technical CD, we call the two submissions clear. For instance, "Gules, a fess Or", versus "Gules, a lion rampant Or." Technically, there is but one CD, for the different in type. However, since the fess and the lion are substantially different, and were considered so in period, we give complete different in charge, and would call them clear of each other.

Iain of Rannach. Device. Per chevron sable and argent two mullets Or and a Celtic cross gules.
This is being returned for conflict with the badge of Wulfred von Templehof (SCA), Per chevron sable and argent, a sun in splendor Or, a mullet between the horns of a decrescent argent, and a wingless wyvern passant reguardant gules, breathing flames Or. Current precedent says this is one group of charges. Since there is not substantial difference between a mullet/sun, so we cannot invoke complete difference of charge. Since the change of tincture is to the object in sinister chief, we cannot invoke the 1/3=1/2 rule for three objects. There is one difference for changing the cross to a dragon, (or equivalently for changing 2/3rd's of the charges of the group (in base and in sinister chief)) but that's the only one.

Michael Kellahan. Device. Per chevron sable and purpure a chevron rompu argent.
This is being returned for conflict with Robyn Akre (SCA), Per pale counter-ermine and azure a chevron rompu argent. There is only one CD, for the change in the field.

Sean Andrews. Name.
This was previously submitted as Sean Anderson and was returned by Laurel 12/95 for conflict with John Anderson. Changing the name to Sean Andrews does not clear the old conflict. Furthermore, this is in conflict with a number of John Andrews cited from Webster's Biographical Dictionary.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Badge. Per fess argent and azure, a chevron inverted surmounted by a chevron counterchanged.
This is being returned for nonidentifiability. The chevrons, because they are of the same tincture where they overlap, make the badge look like "Per fess argent and azure, in pale the letter W and the letter M conjoined at the line of division counterchanged". RfS VII.7.a. requires that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." Therefore, this is being returned.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Badge for Order of the Watchful Flame. Argent, a hanging lantern sable, a candle argent flament proper.
This is being returned for violation of breaking the rule of tincture, with an argent candle on an argent field.

WEST

Byran Ciúnchlaidh. Device. Azure, on a saltire argent, a unicorn's head couped wavy gules, a bordure argent.
This is being returned for a redraw. The bordure is way to small. Additionally, the drawing of the drawing of the unicorn's head should be corrected; heads should be either couped or erased.

Gregor Vöö. Device. Sable, a Grecian sphynx couchant Or, on a bordure argent, three crescents sable.
The sphynx as drawn seems halfway between that of an Egyptian and a Grecian sphynx, and blurs the line between them. This is therefore being returned for a redraw as one or the other.
