Greetings from the Heronter Heralds, a division of the Heraldic Flying
Circus and Moving Company, Southwest.

Herewith, our commentary on the second half of AE98, dated 1 September, 2006.


22.  Marianna Molin di Salerno  --  New Name

Molin -- We note that the documentation lists it as a "typical" Venetian name.

Salerno -- *Sigh!*  There was a wonderful little Italian restaurant (and I 
*do* mean "little"!) called the Salerno House in Amherst, New York.  Now 
you've made me hungry for a big plate of pasta!  :)   :) 


24.  Mariia Kotova  --  Device Resubmission

"Azure, in pale a lion-dragon passant Or and on open book charged with a 
  flower and a quill pen gules."

Blazon-fu: "Azure, in pale a lion-dragon passant or, and an open book
  _argent_, charged with _in fess_ a flower and a quill pen gules."

No conflicts found.  We count four tinctures (azure, or, argent, gules) and
four charges (dragon, book, flower, pen) which means this has a complexity
count of eight.


26.  Mathias Kotov  --  Device Resubmission

"Quarterly argent and Or, a dragon gules winged sable breathing flames 
  proper."

The dragon is drawn rather strangely.  In color, it looks like a shadow puppet 
issuant from his back rather than wings.

Clear of:
Name: Wilfred de Ackelonde
Blazon: "Per pale vert and argent, a dragon contourny gules."
