Unto the members of the College of Arms does Dame Elsbeth Anne Roth, Laurel Queen of Arms, send greetings.
Herein are corrections to various Letters of Acceptances and Returns and the Armorial.
LoARS
March 1987
OUTLANDS
Scorpions Hollow, Shire of. Change of name from Scorpion’s Hollow, Shire of.
This was registered without comment as Scorpion’s Hollow in March, 1987. However, it was submitted and appeared on the LoI in the form above.
March 1994
EAST
Elwynne Rowenna of Wentworth. Badge. Azure, a cross voided erminois, overall a griffin segreant argent all within a bordure erminois.
Her device was released when she registered new arms. However, she had requested that it be retained as a badge.
January 1994
EAST
Forestgate, Canton of. Device. Vert, a bear rampant sustaining a key all within a laurel wreath Or and a chief Or grillage sable.
The original blazon listed the key as a maintained charge.
September 1994
EAST
Gareth Strongbow. Badge. (Fieldless) On a cross potent per bend sinister Or and gules, an arrow counterchanged.
The original blazon reversed the order of the tinctures.
December 1998
AN TIR
Björn Kolbjörnsson. Name change from Bjoern Kolbjoernsson.
The submitter claims he submitted Björn Kolbjörnsson; the forms show Björn Kolbjornsson. We are nevertheless changing the name to a form equivalent to the registered form but closer to the submitted form and the same as what the submitter desires.
July 1999
DRACHENWALD
Kaarnemaa, Canton of. Device. Or, a raven rousant wings elevated sustaining in its dexter claw a halbard sable in base a laurel wreath vert.
The laurel wreath was blazoned as sable on the LoAR, but an examination of the emblazon showed that it was a heavily outlined vert.
August 1999
CAID
Gabbriella Mocenigo. Device. Per chevron sable and argent, two winds respectant argent and a moon in her plentitude sable.
This was incorrectly listed as a badge on the LoAR.
Corrections to the Armorial
Inman MacMoore. Reblazon of device. Sable, a winged eagle’s claw sustaining to dexter a broadaxe palewise Or.
The original blazon listed the axe as a maintained charge. It is large enough to be a co-primary.
Joanna de Bocage. Device. Per pall vert, Or, and argent, two oak leaves conjoined in chevron inverted vert fructed proper.
The original blazon gave the impression that the oak leaves and the acorn were of equivalent sizes. The acorn is too small to be a co-primary.
Lenore of the Dark Lands. Device. Sable, an eagle’s claw inverted couped Or maintaining a torteaux.
The position of the claw was ambiguous in the original blazon, and the relative size of the torteaux was unclear.
Robert de la Tor-Fraisse. Device. Argent, a sea-serpent haurient embowed contourny gules.
The orientation of the bow in the serpent’s body was ambiguous in the original blazon.
