[MR] HERALDRY -- Kingdom Returns for May 2001

[Robert J Welenc]

Unto the Crown, Heralds, and Populace of Atlantia, greetings from
Lady Alanna Volchevo Lesa, Golden Dolphin Herald!

The following submissions were Returned May 2001 for more work:

Friderich Mengo{sz} Chrypffs.	 Device resubmission.
Per fess wavy sable and barry wavy argent and sable, a lion-dragon
erect Or.
	This conflicts with Richard of the Silverdawn, March of 1990 (via
Ansteorra): Gyronny gules and ermine, a lion dragon erect Or.  There
is only one Clear Difference for the aggregate changes to the field.

	In additon, this also conflicts with a sea-lion.  In returning a
sea-dragon against a wyvern, Laurel Bruce Draconarius ruled: "The
only difference between a wyvern and a sea-dragon is the exact shape
of the tail's flukes, not enough for a CD." (Dugal MacTaveis,
September, 1992, pg. 44) Since the elimination of the tail fluke is
the only difference between a sea-lion and your lion-dragon, this
therefore conflicts with the badge for the Shire of Adamestor,
registered in July of 1999 (via Drachenwald): (Fieldless) A sea-lion
Or maned sable.
	
{O'}l{a'}fr {U'}lfbrandsson. 	Device. 
Per saltire Or and sable, a cross of four Thor's hammers
counterchanged.
	This device has a conflict whether we consider it as four charges
(four hammers) or as one charge (a cross.)
	Against four charges is the device of Ulric Grimmheld, registered in
November of 1984 (via the Middle): Per saltire Or and sable, in pale
two hammers, hafts to center, and in fess two dragons displayed,
heads respectant, counterchanged.
	There is only one Clear Difference for changing the type of half the
charge group.
	Against one charge there is the device of Arval Benicoeur,
registered in January of 1986 (via the East): Per saltire Or and
sable, a cross patonce counterchanged.  There is only one CD for
changing the type of cross.
	If you reverse the tinctures of the field, these conflicts will be
cleared.  When you resubmit, please note that the handles of the
Thor's hammers should not come to sharp points in the center.

Rose Morgan. 	Badge.
(Fieldless) On a lion dormant argent a harp azure. 
Unfortunately, this lovely design is unidentifiable.  At any distance
the details of the harp disappear into the lion's mane and tail, and
become just "something blue."  If you use a less flamboyant lion, or
have the lion holding a large harp, one of equal visual weight to the
 lion, this will be clear.  
	We found no conflicts at this time.

Steffan von Kiel. 	Device. 
Per chevron inverted sable and vert, a griffin's head erased Or.
Conflict with the badge of Cealmhain Realt Dubh, in February of 1981
(via the West): Per pale sable and gules, a gryphon's head erased Or.

There is only one Clear Difference for the aggregate changes to the
field.  
	When you resubmit, the ‘per chevron' lines should begin a bit lower
down on the sides of the shield. 

Thorfinn of Dun Carraig. 	Device resubmission.
Chevronelly Or and gules.
Withdrawn by the submitter.
