Warmest greetings unto the College of Heralds of the Kingdom of Lochac, and unto any others who may read this missive from Wakeline de Foxley, Crux Australis Principal Herald
Just a quick reminder that reports from Baronial heralds are due on the
15th of November.
Emailed reports are fine and may
be in word, text, pdf or postscript formats (if you have some other
preference let me know). Ideally,
your report should include as much information as possible. If nothing
much has happened, you can just write and say "nothing much has happened".
Don't do this too often.
Don't forget to include your mailing address!
Some of you didn't report last time. Missing two in a row would be a really bad idea...
You know who you are.
This gives us a cross reference to make sure nothing has been lost in transit. Include information relating to whether people with returned submissions are working on a resubmission.
Basically - Who did what, when and how well?
Include the date of the award and the names of the Royalty who gave it. This is a useful cross-check of both the Crux and Canon files. Please be sure to include the legal names of recipients if at all possible.
List of all those rostered freelance heralds. Let us know what they're
doing, and whether you think they need training or promoting.
Remember to date your report (and everything else you send, for that matter), and include your mundane name, address, phone and email details.

Cost: $20 per new submission (name, device or badge). No cost for resubmissions (within the permitted time limit) or branch submissions. Note: a new name and device costs a total of $40. Make cheques or money orders payable to "SCA Inc. College of Heralds". Do not send cash through the post!
NAMES: Two (2) copies of both the form and ALL documentation, including title page of each book NB: The title page is not the same as the book cover! Essays about a submitter's persona may be entertaining, but do NOT constitute documentation. When citing web sites as documentation, you must include a printout of the pages used. Please don't staple your forms, paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.
DEVICES AND BADGES: Four (4) colour copies and one (1) black & white OUTLINE copy. The colour copies should be accurately coloured, preferably in felt tip pen. Colour printers or faint coloured pencil is not acceptable. The colours must be visible across a crowded Herald's meeting. Laurel has requested that gold pen NOT be used, as it deteriorates in files and turns to glue. Please don't staple your forms, assuming that all goes well at kingdom level they are separated and go to four different homes. Paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.
Please include ALL necessary documentation to support each submission. It is the responsibility of the submitter to present their submission in a way that makes registration easy. Name documentation should be as accurate as possible. Failure to provide sufficient documentation is a cause for return of your submission. If you are having trouble with your documentation then speak to your local herald. If they can't answer your specific question, consider writing to Blazons, or contacting me. If I don't know the answer but I will at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who will.
The October meeting was held on Tuesday 12th October 2004.
The next meeting will be on Tuesday, 9th of November.

1. Bartholomew Baskin New device Argent, a lion dormant and in chief rayonny gules. The submitter's name was forwarded to Laurel on the Lochac March 2004 LoI.
The submitter sent me a new version of the emblazon after internal commentary.
The new version featured a larger chief with fewer, larger rays and a larger lion. |
|
|
2. Gillian Brampton New name (See Returns for device) The submitter seeks a late 16th century feminine name. She wishes
it to be temporally authentic and will allow any changes. She cares most about language,
although she doesn't specify one. |
|
|
3. Leoflæeda Ælfwynn New name (see Returns for device) The submitter wants a 10th to 11th century feminine Saxon name.
She will allow minor changes and cares most about culture. The name was submitted as
Leoflaeda Ælfwynn . The submitter has made an additional note on the form, stating "If
is necessary to change the second name to Ælfwynnsdohtir or similar, I would accept
that, although I'd rather not" . |
|
|
4. Tamsyn Northover New name and device Per fess indented of three points flory, azure and ermine . The submitter would like a feminine name suitable for post
14th century England. Both time and language are important to her. She will allow
minor changes and in the event of a change cares most about sound. The submitter
will only allow changes to a form of the first name that is spelt with a "y". |
|
|
5. Ysabeau de Challon New name and device submission Or, on a fess sable five fleur-de-lys Or The submitter wants a feminine name. She cares equally about sound
and language (but does not specify the desired language). There is no specific request
for authenticity. She will however allow any changes. |
|
|
1. Gillian Brampton Device submission Per bend sinister gules and vert, two trefoils Or This device is being returned for a redraw. The submitter has been asked to make the trefoils considerably larger. In addition it has been suggested that the trefoils could be drawn in a more standard heraldic form with points on each leaf. |
|
|
2. Leoflaeda Ælfwynn Device submission Purpure chapé ployé argent ermined purpure a unicorn passant argent The submitted device is in conflict with Selena of Dragon's Bay,
"vert a dapple grey unicorn statant". There is a single CD for the cumulative
changes to the field. Selena's unicorn must be a light grey to have contrast with the
vert field, so there is not a CD for change in unicorn tincture.

|
3. Iseabail inghean Mharton mhrc Donnchurdh Device submission (see Pends for Name submission) This device is being returned for multiple conflicts with Richard Wymarc, "Sable, a shakefork gules fimbriated argent" and Bertrand de Flammepoing, "Sable, a pall Or fimbriated of flame proper" In each case there is only a single CD for changing the tincture of the primary charge. |
|
|
1. Isabella Rossini New device submission This submitted device satisfies VIII.2.b.i which says
"The field must have good contrast with every charge placed directly
on it and with charges placed overall." (emphasis mine).
However, the fireball is "barely overall", a problem which,
has previously led to numerous returns from Laurel. |
|
|
1. Iseabail inghean Mhartainn mhic Dhonnchurdh New name (see Returns for device) The submitter seeks a 1560+ Scottish (Gaidhlig)
feminine name and wishes it to be authentic for both time and language.
She will allow minor changes, and in the event of said changes cares
most about language. |
No news this month.
