Greetings to Emma Laurel, Elisabetta Pelican, and Iago Wreath from Dietrich Red Escutcheon and Acting Green Mantle:

We humbly submit for consideration and registration by the College the following names and armoury.

1: Adnar Dionadair and Tamsin Kitto - New Badge (KLoI)

The following changes are allowed: All
Spelling (Ascelyn) most important.

3: Ascelyn of Ben Dunfirth - New Badge (KLoI)

OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.

(Fieldless) A sprig of ash inverted vert

4: Claire de Lyon - Resub Device (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in December of 2022, via Ealdormere.

(Fieldless) A serpent in annulo vert maintaining in its mouth and tail an annulet Or

The original submission (Fieldless) A serpent in annulo vorant of its own tail vert, was returned on the June 2023 LoAR.

"This badge is returned for conflict with the Barony of Loch Soilleir's badge, (Fieldless) A sea-serpent in annulo head to chief and vorant of its own tail vert. By precedent, reaffirmed as recently as August 2014, there is no difference between a serpent and a sea-serpent:

[Argent, a serpent erect contourny, a chief gules] This conflicts with Robert de la Tor-Fraisse, Argent, a sea-serpent haurient reguardant gules. There is only one CD for the addition of the chief. An examination of the emblazon shows that Conall's sea-serpent is in essentially the same posture as Robert's. [Conall Ruadh Mag Fhionnain, July 1999, R-Atlantia]"

This is a redesign that should clear the conflict.

Correction to Device (2023-Sep-18 18:09:39): This should be a badge, not a device.
