Outlands Kingdom ILoI - 2023-04-19


20: Ulric de Gothia -Resub Device

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in August of 2021, via the Outlands.

Sable, a wyvern displayed and in chief a crescent Or

This submission is to be associated with Ulric de Gothia

Returned at Laurel on the August 2021 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2021/08/21-08lar.html#209)

On resubmission, the chest and body should squarely face the viewer, or squarely face to the side, rather than be rotated partway in between. In other words, the head and body of a wyvern displayed should be in the same posture as the head and body of an eagle displayed.

The emblazon of this submission is identical to that of the previous submission.

Correction to Device (2023-Apr-19 22:04:21): The full text of the return on the August 2021 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2021/08/21-08lar.html#209) Sable, a wyvern displayed and in chief a crescent Or

This device is returned for the lack of documentation to support the trian aspect of the wyvern: "Absent documentation, we will cease to register any depictions of animate charges displayed with the torso twisted to dexter or sinister as of the January 2018 decision meeting." [July 2017 Cover Letter] and [Irene MacKenny, July 2017, R-An Tir]

On resubmission, the chest and body should squarely face the viewer, or squarely face to the side, rather than be rotated partway in between. In other words, the head and body of a wyvern displayed should be in the same posture as the head and body of an eagle displayed.

The use of a wyvern displayed is a step from core practice. Per the September 2018 Cover Letter: "While it's been long-standing policy that [dragons and wyverns] have no difference between them, the recent ruling on quadrupeds affronty draws a stark contrast between dragons (which can no longer be depicted as displayed) and wyverns (which, following the pattern of cockatrices from Guillim, can be displayed, albeit a step from period practice)."

The only difference between the two emblazons is the size of the crescent.
