[MR] A (Probably Ridiculous) Heraldic Suggestion - Roll of Arms

[Mindi Bishop]

Greetings unto all!

To create a Roll of Arms for the entire Known World is a daunting project, 
to say the least.  However, as already posted, many groups have created 
their own electronic Roll of Arms.  A couple of weeks ago, the "baby" barony 
of Atlantia, uploaded it's Roll.

The Barony of Hawkwood's Roll of Arms can be seen at:
http://hawkwood.albanach.org/Hawkwood%20OP/index2.htm

It most definately is a work-in-progress.  Enjoy!

Just my 2 cents,
