Blazoned when registered in July of 1988 as Per fess argent and sable, in base a wyvern passant, wings displayed and tail nowed erect, argent, we are clarifying the posture of the wyvern. Its body is oriented vertically so it is erect. We are also taking this opportunity to update the blazon using current, standard defaults and terminology.

Issabell Saint Charles. Device change. Or, four fleurs-de-lys in cross bases to center, in chief a coronet flory azure, a bordure azure semy-de-lys argent.

Submitted as a ducal coronet, the coronet in this submission is drawn as a coronet flory (which is not reserved for ducal rank) so we have blazoned it as such.

The submitter is a royal peer of ducal rank and thus entitled to display a coronet.

The submitter’s prior device, Azure, a bell argent, a bordure Or semy-de-lis azure, is retained as a badge.

Mag Mor is the registered name of an SCA branch.

For conflict purposes the elephant is argent, which we ask Morsulus to note in the O&A.

Jóhann Steinarsson. Heraldic title Walker Herald.

Ketill Karlsson. Device change. Or, a wyvern erect with one leg raised contourny sable, a bordure indented gules.

This device does not conflict with the device of Vīryavān ca Tūṣṇīṃ, Or, a monster composed of the foreparts a lion and the hindquarters of a dragon sejant contourny gules winged sable, a bordure indented gules. There is a DC for changing the tincture of half the primary charge, and another for the difference between Vīryavān’s monster and a wyvern.

The submitter’s prior device, Per fess sable and Or, a roundel and a wolf rampant counterchanged, is retained as a badge.

Kolfinna Valdísardóttir. Name and device. Per pale purpure and sable, a chevron fracted Or.

Morwenna ferch Dafydd. Reblazon of device. Argent semy of dandelions in profile Or slipped and leaved vert, a wooden A-frame plumb-line proper.

Blazoned when registered in August of 2025 as Argent semy of dandelion plants, a wooden A-frame plumb-line proper, the strewn charges are dandelions in profile slipped and leaved, not dandelion plants, which would have multiple stems and flowers.

The submitter grants blanket permission to conflict for any armory that is not identical to their badge.

Véný Andríðardóttir. Name (see PENDS for device).

Submitted as Véný Andríðsdóttir, the patronymic byname was not correctly formed. The old Norse genitive for the masculine given name Andriðr is Andriðar. We have therefore changed this name to Véný Andríðardóttir for registration.

William of Friedrichsburg. Reblazon of device. Per fess Or and vert, two wyverns sejant respectant, each with one foot raised gules, a bordure embattled counterchanged.

Blazoned when registered in September of 1993 as Per fess Or and vert, two wyverns passant respectant gules within a bordure embattled counterchanged, we are clarifying the posture of the wyverns. Their bodies are oriented on an angle, with their weight balanced on their unraised feet and tails, so they are sejant.

CALONTIR returns

This device is returned for conflict with the device of Douglass Elisabeth Montgomery, Argent, on a pale azure between two roses proper, a unicorn rampant argent. There is a single DC for changing the type of tertiary charge.

CALONTIR pends

Véný Andríðsdóttir. Device. Azure, in pale a domestic cat courant and a fleur-de-lys per pale Or and argent.

This device is pended to redraw it with a larger fleur-de-lys. As submitted the fleur-de-lys is significantly smaller than the cat such that it appears to be a secondary charge.

This was item 21 on the Calontir letter of August 5, 2025.
