The October 2025 Letter of Acceptances and Returns has been published. Here are the results for Calontir.

CALONTIR acceptances

Aia Gold-Bearer. Badge. (Fieldless) Within and conjoined to the blade of a sickle inverted Or a sprig of mistletoe vert fructed argent.

Aia Gold-Bearer. Badge. Gules, a skull per pale sable and argent, a bordure embattled argent.

Aveline de Morton. Name and device. Per pale invected vert and argent semy-de-lys vert, a weeping willow tree eradicated argent and a brown stoat rampant proper.

Artist’s note: Please draw fewer and larger fleurs-de-lys.

Cadwgan Sadilgos. Name and device. Per bend engrailed gules and sable, a goose rising wings displayed and a jester’s bauble bendwise Or.

Chiaretta da Chachavo. Device. Per bend flory counter-flory vert and Or, a rabbit rampant maintaining an artist’s paintbrush argent and a lily gules slipped and leaved vert.

Corotica of Ansteorra. Name.

Ansteorra is the registered name of an SCA branch.

Éadaoin inghean Chionaodha. Alternate name Emeludt Kühl and badge. (Fieldless) On a chemise Or a harpy vert.

As it has been over a decade since the last registration of a chemise we take this opportunity to redocument the charge. A chemise is a period charge, found in the arms of Mondunno in the 16th C Grand armorial colorié (Paris, BnF, ms. Français 5232), f. 541v.

Submitters and consulting heralds are reminded that charges that have not been registered in a decade (and charges that have never been registered before) should be documented as part of the submission.

Erik inn grái Haraldsson. Device change. Sable, a bear’s head erased argent between an increscent, a decrescent and a crescent pendant Or.

This device conflicts with the badge of Hroerekr Steinbjarnarson, Sable, a bear’s head erased argent muzzled gules crowned of a county coronet Or, with a DC for adding the crescents but no difference for removing the muzzle or crown. However, Hroerekr Steinbjarnarson has provided permission to conflict, allowing this device to be registered.

Kitsumi Hisamoto. Device. Sable, on a tortoise-shell plate sable marked, a bladed katabami Or.

This is the defining instance of a bladed katabami in Society armory. This is a period Japanese heraldic charge representing a wood sorrel leaf with blades between the lobes. A bladed katabami is considered to be equivalent to a three-petaled flower for the purposes of conflict.

Oleg Veleslavich. Device. Or, a pale azure, overall a bear’s head cabossed proper.

Sem’iyye bint Tahir al-Hindi. Alternate name Eufemia Lotharsdochter and badge. Per bend sable and argent, in bend six woodlice bendwise sinister two, two, and two counterchanged.

This is the defining instance of woodlice in Society armory. Woodlice may be a period charge; the arms of Lässe, in Wappenbuch der Arlberg-Bruderschaft, p. 751 include a charge that certainly look like woodlice. Even if they aren’t, woodlice lived in areas where humans lived in period, so are acceptable as a constructed charge under SENA A2B2b.

The arrangement of two rows of charges in bend is unusual, but is attested in the period example. Without evidence that this arrangement was considered different from it in period, it will be considered equivalent to six charges in their default arrangement on either side of a divided field. We decline to rule at this time as to the registerability of this arrangement on an undivided field.

Sven Fálkason. Device. Per chevron throughout vert and argent, a pomme.

Tatiana Nikonovna Besprozvannyja. Badge. (Fieldless) On a cushion erminois a domestic cat couchant guardant azure.

Zacharias Wolff. Device. Vert, a wolf courant Or vested of a helmet and cuirass argent and on a chief Or a torteau.

Nice cant!
