This badge was pended from ILoI Æ79. At the time, we were uncertain as to which depiction of this badge would be registerable. Upon further research, we determined that while overall charges may in fact be charged with tertiaries (meaning that there was not inherently a problem with 'overall on a flame a sword'), overall charges must have good contrast with the field (meaning that 'azure, overall on a flame gules' was a problem). We have redrawn this as "a sword enflamed" with the sword surrounded by small, separate gouttes of flame, which are considered artistic details and are not required to have good contrast with the field, as per François' precedent of 12/03.
Vert, a chevron argent between three lanterns Or.
This device is being returned for conflict with Iohne Mac Dabhídh, Vert, a chevron argent between three dogs rampant Or, with one CD for changing the type of secondary charges.
(Fieldless) A mouse couchant azure.
