Greetings, Calontir!
The March Letter of Acceptances and Returns was published on Friday, May 3rd. Here are the results for Calontir:
CALONTIR acceptances
Georgette Durning. Device. Purpure, a tyger sejant contourny argent.
This device does not conflict with the badge of Temair ingen Muiredaich, Purpure, a fox sejant contourny argent within a bordure ermine nor with the badge of Yuri Murasaki, Purpure, a fox sejant to sinister maintaining a lily affronty slipped and leaved argent. In each case there is a DC for removing the secondary charge, and there is at least a DC between a fox and a tyger.
This device also does not conflict with the device of Sabine d’Orliens, Purpure, a cat sejant contourny argent in chief three fleurs-de-lys Or, the device of Isabella Hawke, Purpure, a natural panther sejant contourny between three hawk’s legs erased à la quise belled and jessed argent, or the device of Siobhán ingen Tigernaich, Purpure, a natural tiger sejant contourny argent marked sable within a dragon involved in annulo head to chief Or. In each case there is a DC for removing the secondary charge group, and another DC for changing a feline to a tyger.
Havarr Refskegg. Device. Per pale wavy vert and argent, a stag’s attire palewise and an oak leaf counterchanged.
A stag’s attire defaults to fesswise with its stump to dexter. When palewise, it defaults to having its stump to base. We ask Palimpsest to add this information to Table 5 of the Glossary of Terms.
Helenos ben Simon. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Lucius Aternius Calidus. Name and device. Gyronny sable and Or, a torch gules and a serpent entwined argent.
Oddný Óttarsdóttir. Name change from Kenda Óttarsdóttir and device. Quarterly gules and sable, two otters statant counter-statant Or.
The submitter’s prior name, Kenda Óttarsdóttir, is released.
Nice cant!
Oddný Óttarsdóttir. Badge. (Fieldless) A sea-otter Or maintaining a drinking horn argent.
Nice cant!
Oddný Óttarsdóttir. Badge. Per chevron sable and gules, two ravens volant in chevron respectant argent and a boar rampant contourny Or.
Richard Wolfwood. Name and device. Or, a Bowen knot crosswise sable braced with an annulet vert.
This device does not conflict with the badge of Dianora Lizabetta di Cellini, (Fieldless) A Lacy knot within and conjoined to an annulet vert. Though by precedent [Úna inghean Shéamuis, 07/2004, A-Middle] there is no difference between a Lacy knot and a Bowen knot crosswise braced with an annulet, there is a DC for fieldlessness, a DC for changing the tincture of at least half of the primary charge, and a DC for removing the secondary annulet from Dianora’s badge.
This device also does not conflict with the device of Edana O’Donnelly, Or, a Donnelly knot sable. There is an SC for type between a Donnelly knot and a Bowen knot.
This device also does not conflict with the device of Elisabetta Camilla di Raffaello, Or, a knot of two hearts voided and braced to form a single cord azure. There is a DC for the tincture of the primary charge, and at least a DC between a knot of two hearts voided and braced to form a single cord and a Bowen knot.
Þióðrikr Ulfsbani. Name reconsideration from Þeodric Ulfsbani.
When we registered the name Þeodric Ulfsbani, we offered this form to the submitter. We are happy to accept this request for reconsideration!
Verena Näherin. Badge. (Fieldless) A winged dog passant maintaining in its mouth by the chain a morning star flail Or.
Submitted as a morningstar, there has been some confusion in terminology in our blazons, as a morningstar is actually a word for what we typically blazon as a spiked mace: a rigid weapon with no chain. The chained weapon is more accurately referred to as a type of flail. Going forward we will blazon this weapon as a morning star flail. Existing armory is reblazoned elsewhere on this letter.
Our last registration of this type of weapon was in 2015, so we take this opportunity to re-document this charge. The morning star flail appears to have been quite rare in period warfare, but examples can be found in period artwork, such as in the early 15th C “Livre des Merveilles du Monde” (BnF, Français 2810), ff. 245v and 253r.
CALONTIR returns
Helenos ben Simon. Device. Sable, on a sun Or an eye azure irised argent.
This device is returned for conflict with the badge of Leon de Asturias for House Cinqfoil, Sable, a cinquefoil azure en soleil Or. An examination of Leon’s badge shows it to be equivalent to Sable, on a sun Or a cinquefoil azure, so there is a single DC for changing the type of the tertiary charge.
In service,

Greetings, Calontir!
The February Letter of Acceptances and Returns was published on Friday, April 12th. Here are the results for Calontir:
CALONTIR acceptances
Adalyde Heloyz la Cantora. Device change. Gyronny of twelve Or and azure, a peacock in his pride argent within a four-lobed quadrate cornice gules.
The submitter’s prior device, Gyronny of twelve Or and azure, a peacock in his pride argent and on a base sable a moon in her plenitude Or, is released.
Anne Renarde. Name change from Anne Renaud (see RETURNS for device).
Nice 14th century French name from Picardy! The submitter’s previous name, Anne Renaud, is released.
Dagný ingen Murchada. Name change from Eleanor of Shrewsbury.
This name combines an Old Norse given name with an Irish Gaelic byname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C. The submitter’s prior name, Eleanor of Shrewsbury, is released.
Elizabeth Hathaway. Device. Vert, an owl and on a chief argent three rue sprigs vert. Halfdan inn auðgi Ívarsson. Name.
Ivan Povarnin. Name and device. Vert, a frog rampant within an annulet of icosahedral dice Or. Submitted as twelve icosahedral dice, twelve is too many charges to enumerate in blazon when arranged in such a way that the number can’t be recognized at a glance.
Jean Jolivet. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Nice 15th century name from Paris, France!
Mór Hoistlair. Device change. Quarterly vert and sable, a wolf passant atop a snake glissant argent.
The submitter’s prior device, Quarterly vert and sable, in pale a wolf couchant and an eagle maintaining in each foot an olive branch argent, is retained as a badge.
Thomas Bacon. Reblazon of device. Purpure, between in fess two pens a hand maintaining a torch, in chief five mullets in fess Or.
Blazon when registered in March of 1989 as Purpure, a hand maintaining a torch palewise between in fess two quill pens palewise, in chief five mullets in fess, all Or, we are clarifying the charge groups. The pens are the primary charges, the torch and hand are secondary charges.
Þorkatla in skygna. Name.
Nice 9th-11th century Old Norse name from Iceland!
Ysabel de la Oya. Badge. Argent goutty de sang, a cross of Santiago sable.
CALONTIR returns
Anne Renarde. Device. Azure, on a sun in splendor between three mullets Or an increscent moon argent.
This device is returned for having a low contrast tertiary charge, in violation of SENA A3B4a.
Submitted as a moon in her plenitude irradiated Or waxing crescent argent, we have no evidence for moons in their plenitude with the faces divided this way, so we must consider the argent increscent as a tertiary charge which has poor contrast with the Or charge it lies upon.
Even if we were to allow a moon divided this way, the primary charge is effectively a roundel irradiated, which is a sun by definition. And since the primary charge is more than half Or, considered this way the device would conflict with the device of Wendryn Townsend, Azure, a sun in glory Or, and with the device of Paul of Sunriver, Azure, a compass star Or, with a single DC in both cases for adding the secondary mullets.
Jean Jolivet. Device. Argent, on a pale vert between two lilies of the valley vert flowered argent three hummingbirds hovering argent.
This device is returned for the lack of contrast between the flower blossoms and the field, in violation of SENA A3B4b. Despite lilies of the valley taking their tincture from the slip and leaves for contrast and conflict purposes, the flowers are an identifying feature which is too important for identifiability to have no contrast with the field.
From June 7th through June 16th, 2024 we will be hosting the Thirty Sixth Lilies War.
We are excited to invite you to come visit our home war, with activities such as tournaments, competitions, archery, classes, parties and generalized revelry. We hope you can come join us in our Populace on Parade.

Sad news comes from Mistress Sofya la Rus of the passing of Master William Fletcher of Carbery
Having earned both the Boga-Hirth for his prowess in archery, and the Order of the Pelican for his extensive service to the young archers of Calontir, Master William was well loved by the people of the Heartland.
William leaves behind his lady wife, Mistress Juliana Macnayre , his daughter Lady Avelyn Carberry. and son Sean.
Rejoice, Calontir! Exalt in the works of your people, the fruits of their labor, and the glory of their efforts. Rejoice especially in the diverse efforts of those who have long set their hearts to the education of others, for whom it is said ‘gladly would he learn, and gladly teach.’ For without those who will teach others, the plays would end and the respites stop and all the world be a darker place for it.
One such eager teacher is the good and faithful servant William Fletcher of Carbery. Apt named arrow artist, years toiling on the field have produced this faithful fletcher’s crop: Archers aplenty, arrows alighted, joyous laughter following. His good deeds never done for fame, but for the joy of a target struck.
Teacher of children, bearer of bolts, wise and true subject of the Falcon; to him do Anton and Yseult now give new feathers, as a Companion of the Order of the Pelican. Its beak as sharp as what he sets in his quiver, its service as dear to the Heartland as he.
Let to his lands a small forest be given, a grove of good wood; strong Oak and Pine. That his shafts may be stronger, his handles heartier, and the joy of the Kingdom increased by its grant
