The June 2025 Letter of Acceptances and Returns has been published. Here are the results for Calontir. This month, they reblazoned a few already registered devices. This doesn’t mean the device was changed; only the words describing the device were changed.

Blazoned when registered in December 2009 as Per bend sable and vert, in bend three drinking horns argent, we are clarifying the orientation of the drinking horns. Their backs are to sinister, thus they are contourny.

Blazoned when registered in December 1988 as Sable, two ram’s horns couped affronty within a bordure argent, we are clarifying the orientation of the ram’s horns. Since they face in opposite directions, they are a pair of horns. Horns are couped by default and these are in their default orientation.

Blazoned when registered in December 1988 as Per fess sable and Or, two horseshoes and a single-headed chess knight counterchanged, we are clarifying the orientation of the horseshoes. Their openings are to chief, thus they are inverted.

The submitter’s prior device, Per bend vert and bendy sinister sable and argent, a bend wavy and in chief a cross of five annulets braced argent, is retained as a badge.

Skallagrímr Bárðarson. Blanket permission to conflict with device. Per chevron sable and azure, a chevron rayonny argent.

CALONTIR returns

Ragnar MacCrimmon. Device. Per bend argent and vert, five seals naiant in annulo bellies to center and a unicorn’s head couped contourny counterchanged.

This device is returned for violation of SENA A3D2e, Unity of Arrangement, which states “Charges within a charge group should be in an arrangement that can be blazoned with a single arrangement phrase. Charges in a default arrangement are always considered to be in a unified arrangement.” The seals are not in a default arrangement, and the arrangement of the seals needs to be blazoned separately from the arrangement of the primary charge group as a whole.

There is a step from core practice for the use of charges orientated in annulo.
