Unto the members of the College of Arms and all others who may read this missive
do Dame Elsbeth Anne Roth, Laurel Queen of Arms, and Lady Margaret Makafee,
Cornelian Herald, send greetings.
Herein are corrections to various Letters of Acceptances and Returns and the
Armorial:
January 1974
WEST
Kourost Bernard of the East Woods. Reblazon of device. Sable,
a sun Or eclipsed sable.
The original blazon did not give the tincture of the eclipse, but the original
precedent for this device notes all that can be seen is the corona of the
sun, making the eclipsed portion sable.
June 1975
WEST
Leonus de Rotund. Reblazon of device. Azure, a lion salient
contourny queue-forchy enfiled of an annulet Or.
The original blazon had the lion "piercing" the annulet. However, the lion
had no contact with the sides of the annulet, but was encircled by its opening.
October 1976
WEST
Jeffrey of Spirit Valley. Device correction. Sable, in dexter
chief three lightning flashes bendwise sinister in bend Or, in sinister base a
mullet argent.
This original blazon listed the field as azure.
February 1981
ATENVELDT
Katrine de Baillie du Chat. Reblazon of device. Azure, a domestic
cat sejant atop a base embattled argent.
The original blazon placed the cat on the base instead of on the field.
December 1982
WEST
Paul of Bellatrix. Device correction. Sable, on a bend Or
three compass stars palewise gules.
The current blazon listed a bend sinister instead of a bend as the primary
charge. That blazon came from an erroneous correction made in 1985.
September 1988
OUTLANDS
Irel Krist of Starre Inn. Name correction from Irel Krist
of Star Inn.
His name was misspelled on the LoAR when originally registered.
February 1989
MERIDIES
Small Grey Bear, Shire of. Reblazon of device. Azure, a bear
passant argent within a laurel wreath Or, all between three compass stars argent.
The original blazon omitted the posture of the bear.
December 1994
Granada. Name correction of real-world armory. Argent, a pomegranate
seeded gules slipped vert.
The device was accidentally registered under the name Grenada, which is a
separate state with its own protected name and arms.
Granada. Name correction of real-world armory. Argent, a pomegranate
slipped and leaved vert seeded gules.
This device was registered under the name Grenada, which is a separate state
with its own protected name and arms.
September 1997
ARTEMISIA
Renee Dominique Vittoria. Reblazon of device. Azure, a pegasus
passant with wings elevated and addorsed within a bordure Or plummety sable.
The original blazon had the bordure as though the plummety were properly
drawn. However, the emblazon showed plummety drawn similar to the field treatment
papellony, but using feathers rather than scales. If this were actually papellony,
it would be blazoned "a bordure Or papellony sable." Therefore, the blazon
has been changed to better reflect the emblazon. The submitter requested that
the bordure be blazoned Or plummety azure, but an examination of the emblazon
shows that the markings on the bordure are sable not azure.
May 1998
ARTEMISIA
Armando Ramos el Caido. Name change from holding name Armando
of One Thousand Eyes.
The action on the LoI was noted as a new name, not a change of holding name.
April 1999
ATENVELDT
Kedivor Tal ap Cadugon. Name change from Gethyn Tal mab Cadwygaun.
The name Gethyn Tal mab Cadwygaun was returned in January 1999, but an alternate
name, Genevieve Marguerite Gaston de La Rochelle, was registered to the same
person and associated with the returned name in April 1999. He registered
the primary persona name above in December 1999; all items should be listed
under that name.
May 1999
MIDDLE
Rurik Brattahlidski. Name correction from Rurik Brattahildski.
The byname was listed on the LoI as Brattahild, but both the forms
and the documention show the form Brattahlid. The locative ending -ski
was added by Laurel.
September 1999
ATLANTIA
Oswulf the Grey. Badge correction for House Blackspear. Or,
a spearhead between flaunches sable, each charged with a mazer argent.
The original blazon misspelled mazer.
February 2000
ATLANTIA
Alys Montgomerie. Device correction. Per pale sable and Or,
a goblet sustained between two talbots combattant counterchanged, a bordure embattled
gules.
The original blazon omitted the posture of the talbots.
MERIDIES
Loch Cairn, Shire of. Device correction. Per fess purpure
and sable, two wingless sea dragons respectant Or maintaining between them a laurel
wreath argent.
The original blazon had the dragons affronty.
MIDDLE
Donal Bane of Blakmers. Device reblazon. Argent, a falcon
displayed vert sustained by a sinister cubit arm fesswise fist clenched and on
a chief sable three feathers bendwise sinister Or.
The original blazon had the bird sustaining the arm; usually such arrangements
are blazoned with the arm sustaining the bird.
