This device presents a regional heraldry exception, as per RfS X.6:

6. Documented Exceptions. - An armorial design element that is adequately documented as a period practice may be deemed acceptable even if it violates other sections of Part VIII (Compatible Armorial Style).
Such design elements will be accepted only on a case-by-case basis and only in armory comparable in style and complexity to the documented period examples. The strength of the case for such an exception increases in proportion to: the similarity of the documented examples to the submitted armory; and the number of independent period examples offered as evidence.

a. General Exceptions - In most cases the documentation for a proposed exceptional armorial design element should be drawn from several European heraldic jurisdictions.

The strength of the case for such an exception increases in proportion to the geographical and chronological breadth of the supporting period evidence.

b. Regional Style - Alternatively, a proposed exceptional armorial design element may be documented as characteristic of a specific regional armorial style.

In such cases the submitted armory may be registered provided that all of the following conditions are met. (1) The submitter explicitly requests an exception to the other sections of Part VIII (Compatible Armorial Style) on the grounds that the submitted armory exemplifies a specific regional style. (2) Documentation is adduced to show that exceptional design element was not uncommon in the regional style in question. (3) Documentation is adduced to show that all elements of the submitted armory can be found in the regional style in question.

We note the following examples of complex red charges on black fields (all from Seibmacher):

pl. 182 - von Radenharsen - Per pale gules and sable, an eagle counterchanged.

pl. 167 - von Hamberg - Per fess sable and argent, a lion gules and three "somethings" sable.

NOTE: The client will accept the name variant Gobler.

I'm uncertain as to why a Brown ram's head, but that is what the form specifies. While I can find images of the Brown ram on-line, the majority of references in Google are to a WoW item. Unless someone gives me a reason why, the blazon will change to a generic ram's head.

Further, in an e-mail to our commentary list, Heather Rose Jones (Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn) wrote "As it happens, the example I found in the chronicles of "1157 Eyn. vab anarawd ap gruffud nei y rys" provides both desired elements in a Welsh-language context in spellings that would still be typical in the 13th century." This page from The Chronicle of Princes (Peniarth MS 20) can be found at <http://cairsweb.llgc.org.uk/images/byt/byt00176.jpg>. While not extremely clear, the script that Tangwystyl mentions is in the right-hand column, 13th-15th lines.

Or, a chevron inverted azure, in base, two ravens addorsed sable.
13146295561314629578
Submitter desires a masculine name.
No major changes.

Orn - Geirr Bassi cites this name, spelling it Örn. Lind, c. 1256-1257, has it ?rn in the header, but notes that it was "skriven Orn" in the Flomannasaga. Given that the simplified spelling is found in period literature, is that sufficient to justify the plain O sans umlaut or hook?

Thorin The submitter cites an LoAR from February, 2008, as stating that: "Thorin was documented as an Old English name, but Fellowes-Jensen, Scandinavian Personal Names in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire cites a Grunekell f. Thorin. This shows Thorin as a latinized Norse name. 1055-1059." However, Lind, c. 1179, cites Þorinn as Mythological masculine name and Þorin as a dvergr "dwarf" name.

Name Formation - While the submitter spells the genitive Thorinson, I believe that it should be Thorinsson
