Unto Garnet Herald, and the Aethelmearc College of Arms;
Greetings from the Heronter Heralds, a division of the Heraldic Flying Circus and Moving Company, Southwest.
Herewith, our commentary on the second half of ILOI AE114, dated October 1, 2008.
Apologies for this missive being late, but we spent the weekend Storming the Castle!
41: Isabel la Roja - New Name & New Device
"Or, a dragon-headed bow vert."
Clear of:
Name: Brice Armbruster
Date: January 1988
Kingdom: West
Type: Badge
Blazon: Argent, a crossbow vert.
Clear by "Fife and Drum" rule: they are in the same armorial category, but visually distinct.
42: Ishiyama Gen'tarou Yori'ie - New Name & New Device
"(Fieldless) On a hexagon Or a rabbit's head cabossed sable."
We're
fairly certain that there is a rule that says a fieldless badge with a
charged geometric shape is equivalent to the the charge on a field of
the tincture of the geometric, but we can't find it. If that rule still
exists, the badge is equivalent to "Or, a rabbit's head cabossed sable"
and is in conflict with the following armory:
Name: Brennan MacDuffie
Date: May 2002
Kingdom: Outlands
Type: Badge
Blazon: (Fieldless) A rabbit's head cabossed sable.
(1 CVD for fieldless vs "Or")
43: Isobella MacClure - New Name & New Device
"Azure, a crescent Or and on a chief argent three ravens sable."
No conflicts found.
44: Jacob of Dunmore - New Name
No problems found.
45: Jehan de la Marche - New Augmentation of Arms
"Gules, a crow rising, pierced by an arrow, both argent, and for augmentation, issuant from chief a demi-escarbuncle argent."
No problems found.
46: Jyne Stillwell - New Name
No problems found.
47: Kara Ivarsdottir - New Name & New Device
"Vert, on a lozenge argent a turtle tergiant vert."
Clear of:
Name: Moira Maureen ua Seamus of the Green Hills
Date: July 1980
Kingdom: East
Type: Device
Blazon: Per chevron azure and vert, a fusil argent.
(1 CVD for field, 1 CVD for turtle)
Name: Teceangl Bach

Kingdom: An Tir
Type: Badge
Blazon: (Fieldless) A mascle argent.
(1 CVD for field, 1 CVD for turtle)
48: Karsten the Black - New Name & New Device
"Per
chevron Or and sable, a demi-eagle reguardant gules issuant from the
line of division and on a Tau cross Or five mullets of eight gules."
No conflicts found.
49: Katharine of Caithness - New Name
No problems found.
50: Kilian Helm - New Name
No problems found.
51: Kou'ichi Hiteko - New Name & New Device
"Per fess argent and azure, a raven volant and a cutlass fesswise reversed within a bordure counterchanged."
No
conflicts found. The bird is neither positioned close, nor colored
black. It is not identifiably a raven, therefore it should be blazoned
simply as "a bird volant".
52: Lazarus Iunius Severus - New Name & New Device
"Gyronny sable and argent, eight arrows points to center counterchanged."
No
conflicts found. A word of caution, the archers are having difficulty
finding people to make medallions for them because their armory which
is has same charges on a solid field is overly fussy. This armory is
even fussier to draw.
53: Lidia Allen - New Name
No problems found.
54: Livia Valentini - New Name & New Device
"Sable, a weaver's knot and in chief a label Or."
"But what will her son wear???" -- Dagonell :D
We're
not sure what knots conflict with each other, so each of the following
is assuming that there is no difference for type of knot.
Possible conflict:
Name: Leila of the Meadows
Date: June 1976
Kingdom: West
Type: Device
Blazon: "Sable, a Bowen knot in cross fretted Or."
(1 CVD for label)
Clear of:

(1 CVD for field, 1 CVD for label)

57: Marcán an Fhasaigh - New Name & New Device
"Azure, a tetraskelion of horse's heads conjoined within an annulet argent."

Clear of:
Name: Peregrine Mellyrn of the Last Mountain
Date: February 1981
Kingdom: Atenveldt
Type: Device
Blazon: Azure, a mascle within an annulet argent.
Technically,
two four-sided figures should conflict with each other, but the
horse-headed cross is so visually distinct that it's clear by the "fife
and drum" rule.
58: Margarete Pomeroy - New Name & New Device
"Argent, a lion rampant and in chief three apples gules, a bordure engrailed sable."
Clear of:
Name: Richard, Earl of Cornwall

Name: Hesse
Date: December 1994
Kingdom: Laurel
Type: Device
Blazon: Azure, a lion rampant queue-forchy barruly argent and gules crowned Or maintaining a sword proper.
Comments: (Important non-SCA arms)
We're
not sure that "bendy gules and argent" and "barruly argent and gules"
are visually distinct. Crowns and maintained sword are insufficient for
a point of difference. 1 CVD for field.
Name: Hesse
Date: December 1994
Kingdom: Laurel
Type: Device
Blazon: Azure, a lion rampant queue-forchy barruly argent and gules crowned Or.

Clear of:
Name: Wolfgang Neuschel der Grau
Date: May 1999
Kingdom: Caid
Type: Device
Blazon: "Azure, three sackbuts, a bordure argent."
A sackbut is a medieval trombone, we're not sure if it's a point difference.
(1 CVD for field, 1 CVD for bordure)
65: Qara Erdene - New Name & New Device
"Argent, on a fess embattled-counterembattled purpure a polar bear statant argent."
The fess is so wide, it may as well be a base and chief embattled. The bear looks passant to us.

Blazon: "Argent, a dance enhanced purpure".
(1 CVD for dancetty vs embattled, 1 CVD for bear)
