Thorvald Redhair, Dragon Principal Herald

Unto the Garnet and Cornelian Heralds, comes Greetings from Thorvald Redhair, Dragon Principal Herald.
 
Good Gentles,
 
Here are our comments for the AEthelmearc Internal Letter of Intent dated May 1, 2006.  Commentary is provided by myself, Maestra Gwenhwyvar Nocturnal, Lady Fiona ni Chiardubhain, Berngard, called Moose, Lord Ian the Green, Lord Erick Maxskelly, and Lady Francesca, Foxvale Pursuivant.
 
 
2.  Aíbell ingen Diarmata – New Name, New Device - Or, a pair of flaunches gules, overall three snails in fess counterchanged.
 
Suggest reblazon: Or, flaunches gules, in fess three snails counterchanged.
 
A pair of flaunches is redundant, and we feel the term overall is extraneous.
 
 
Cerridwyn ingen Cera – New Name, New Device - Argent, a lion’s head erased contourny vert.
 
Possible reblazon: Argent, a lion’s head erased contourny vert, langued sable.
 
 
Siobhan Callánach – New Name, New Device - Azure, a griffin dormant between three barrels fesswise argent.
 
Suggest reblazon:  Azure, a griffin dormant, wings elevated and addorsed, between three barrels argent.
 
Barrels are fesswise by default.
 
 
Excellent looking armory on this letter.
 
 
In Service I Remain,
 
Thorvald Redhair
