Æthelmearc Letter of Report Æ100
December 20, 2006 (AS 41)


Greetings from Garnet and Cornelian,

We would very much like to thank those who commented on these items: Aryanhwy merch Catmael, The Heronter Heralds Commenting Group, and Myfanwy ferch Rhiannon!

The items accepted on this letter have been forwarded to Laurel for further consideration, where we anticipate they will be decided on in April of 2007.


1.  Alianor de Ravenglas New Device Returned

Argent, a bend azure between two ravens sable.

This conflicts with Honor of Restormel, Argent, a bend azure between two lozenges sable  (11/1997 via Drachenwald) and with Rakel Hrafnsdottir, Argent, on a bend azure between two ravens sable three oak trees argent (5/2005 via Æthelmearc).


2.  Alicia Hennenberg New Device (kingdom level resub) Accepted

Per pale sable and vert, two peacocks pavonated addorsed argent.


3.  Artán Becc New Name Accepted with change, New Device Returned

Gyronny purpure and sable, two griffins in bend rampant within a bordure argent.

Submitted to kingdom as <Bécc>, the byname was changed at kingdom to <Becc>, as none of the supporting documentation we found included an accent over the vowel. The submitter allows minor changes.

The arms violate RfS VIII.2.b.iv " Elements evenly divided into multiple parts of two different tinctures must have good contrast between their parts."

Since field divisions of two or four parts with simple lines of division do not require good contrast, the Heronter Heralds suggest Quarterly purpure and sable, in bend two griffins segreant within a bordure argent as a possible resubmission.


4.  Connor M’Eleam Change of Device Accepted

Per fess dovetailed azure and argent, in pale two greyhounds courant argent collared Or, and a portcullis sable.


5. Helena LyncolnNew Name Returned

The name conflicts with <Elena of Lincoln> (01/1993 via the West).


6. Isabele of DunbarNew Name Accepted


7.  Nikolai Bearslayer New NameAccepted, New Device Returned

Azure, on a pale between two bears combattant argent, two swords inverted in saltire crossed with a spear palewise sable.

This conflicts with Angrim the Unreasonable, "Azure, on a pale between two bears combattant each maintaining a battle axe argent a tower azure" (10/2000 via Artemisia).

The registerability of the byname as a Lingua Anglica translation of <Medvednikov> was viewed as questionable among commenters. After further consultation with the submitter, he has agreed to allow <Medvednikov> as a “second choice” byname.


8.  Rashid al-Tayyib New Device (kingdom level resub) Accepted with blazon change

Argent, two gophers courant contourny and a gopher courant proper.


9.  Uesugi Kutarou Ietoyo New Name Accepted, New Device Accepted

Vert, three dragonflies in pall inverted tails to center argent.

This name appeared on our previous ILoI AE99 dated October 1, 2006 and was pended on LoR AE99 dated November 22, 2006 to allow for clarification and correction of his preferred device design.

His previous device design of Vert, three dragonflies argent was erroneously published at kingdom on Æthelmearc ILoI AE99 and subsequently withdrawn at kingdom and replaced with this design on Æthelmearc ILoI AE100.


10. Veronica d'Artusio New Name Accepted


This concludes our Letter of Report Æ 100 dated December 20, 2006.
