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

CALONTIR acceptances

Attikos Drakontos. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Submitted as Atticus Drakontos, commenters raised the issue of presumption with the well-known Athenian lawmaker Drako of Athens, who codified Athens’ first legal code. Atticus is listed in the LGPN as both a given name and as a locative byname meaning of Athens. The patronymic byname, Drakontos, means son of Drako. Therefore, as this name is saying that Attikos is Drako’s son, and not that this person is Drako of Athens, this name is clear of presumption. Additionally, commenters were able to document the entirely Greek rendition of the given name — Attikos, versus the Latinized form, Atticus, that was submitted. Therefore, with the submitter’s permission, we have made this change for registration.

Brigida von München. Heraldic title Monkshood Herald.

Devis in le Breres. Name.

Ealasaid Eliot. Name.

This name combines a Scottish Gaelic given name and an English byname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C.

Eawynn ben Broccáin. Name change from Eawynn ingen Broccáin.

Submitted as Eawynn bean Broccáin, the relationship marker bean comes from Middle and Late Irish, while the given name spelling Broccáin is an Old Irish spelling. As each name phrase must be in a single language, we have changed this to the Old Irish spelling ben for registration.

The submitter’s prior name, Eawynn ingen Broccáin, is released.

Helias Basilou. Badge. (Fieldless) On a sun purpure the minuscule Greek letter eta Or.

Helmut der Adler. Badge. (Fieldless) An eagle maintaining in its feet a glaive purpure.

Nice cant!

I’na Yukime. Blanket permission to conflict with name.

The submitter grants permission to conflict with any name that is not identical to their registered name.

I’na Yukime. Blanket permission to conflict with device. Per pale Or and purpure, within a torii gate in saltire two artist’s paintbrushes inverted counterchanged.

The submitter grants permission to conflict for all armory which is not identical to their device.

Jakob Knüttler. Name and device. Per bend sinister raguly azure and argent, a club argent and a mastiff sejant sable.

Nice 14th century German name!

Jóhann Steinarsson. Badge. Vert, a fess compony sable and argent between a foot couped argent and a mullet Or.

This was submitted as a badge for Walker Herald. Precedent says:

“Submitted as a badge for Mistle Thrush Herald, we can’t associate a badge with a heraldic title. Submitters are not allowed to register armory for officers that fall under the auspices of Society-level officers that have registered badges. As the College of Arms has a badge for heralds, Vert, two straight trumpets in saltire, bells to chief Or, badges for subsidiary offices, including Heralds Extraordinary, may not be registered. The sole exception to this rule is for tinctureless seals for principal heralds of kingdoms, under SENA A3A2. [Dorcas Whitecap, 08/2025, R-Calontir]”

Therefore, we are unable to make this association.

The default foot is a human foot, which we direct Palimpsest to add to Table 8 of the Glossary of Terms.

Kolfinna Hálfgrímsdóttir. Name and device. Sable, a sun between in pale two otters courant Or.

The submitter has permission to conflict with the device of Wolfgang Grothe de Verron, Sable, a mullet of eight points between two scarpes Or.

This device does not conflict with the device of Ayloara de Meddestane, Sable, in base a sun in its splendour, flaunches Or. There is a DC for changing the type of secondary charges. There is also a DC for the placement on the field of the primary charge; in period heraldry primary charges with flaunches default to being central, so Ayloara’s sun is not forced to base.

Lyleth Whitrose. Device. Argent, a squirrel rampant maintaining a sword sable, on a chief azure three roses argent.

Nice cant!

Magdalene von Osnabrück. Name and device. Gules, a crescent pendant argent surmounted by an arrow fracted in chevron inverted Or.

Sadb ingen uí Cherbaill. Badge for Iji no Hitomi. Gules, on a hexagon argent a hanakaku gules.

This is the defining instance of a hanakaku in Society armory. A hanakaku is a four-petaled flower found in Japanese armory, stylized to be approximately a bendwise square in shape, equal in width and height; as opposed to hanabishi, a similar flower that is lozenge-shaped, taller than it is wide.

There is a step from core practice for the use of a hexagon.

Wilhelmus Ostfrieslandter. Name and device. Per bend argent and Or, a hedgehog rampant proper its quills impaling grapes purpure and a penguin azure bellied argent.

CALONTIR returns

Attikos Drakontos. Device. Sable, a chevron Or surmounted by a scythe blade argent.
