Atenveldt Submissions (excerpted from the S.C.A. College of Arms' Letters of Acceptance and Return)

The following submissions were registered by the S.C.A. College of Arms, January 2013:


Abigail de Westminster. Badge. (Fieldless) A maple leaf bendwise purpure.


Arria Silvana. Name and device. Per fess vert and sable, a unicorn's head couped argent and three Arabian lamps Or.

Nice Roman name!


Disa Knýtir. Name and device. Vert, between two rabbits sejant respectant a clew of yarn argent.

The submitter indicated that she was interested in the meaning "knitter." The Vikings of course did not knit as we know it, but arts like nalbinding were used at that time (http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/nalebind.html). Whether Knýtir refers to such arts or to "knotting" more generally is unclear. However, the byname is clearly registerable.


Vallaulfr Rurikson. Removal of joint owner Cécile de Brétigny for badge. Per pale indented azure and argent, a wolf argent and a unicorn gules combatant, both gorged and chained Or.


Varinn inn Spaki. Name and device. Per pale sable and gules, a dragon's head cabossed and in base a Thor's hammer Or.

The following submissions were returned by the S.C.A. College of Arms for further work, January 2013:

Josef von Eschenbach. Device. Azure, an annulet Or surmounted by a cross crosslet argent, in chief two crescents pendant Or.

This device is returned for violating SENA A3D1, which states that "Charges in an armorial design must be clearly organized into charge groups. Depictions of charges that blur the distinction between charge groups will not be allowed. Depictions of charges that that are ambiguous as to what sort of charge group they belong to will not be allowed." The size of the various charges makes this appear to be a primary charge group comprised of two crescents pendant and an annulet, not a single primary annulet. However, the size of the overall cross is such that at a glance it appears to be the sole primary charge. This all blurs the distinction between the primary charge group, any secondary charge group, and the overall charge group. The submitter may be interested in interlacing the annulet with the cross, or making the cross the sole primary charge and surmounting it with the annulet, but there still may be questions with that type of treatment to a cross with other charges on the field.

Tir Ysgithr, Barony of. Badge. (Fieldless) A boar statant Or within and conjoined to a billet fesswise voided sable.

This badge is returned for violating SENA A3C, which states that "Voiding and fimbriation may only be used with ordinaries or simple geometric charges when they are part of a primary charge group." Here, the voided billet is a secondary charge, not a primary charge. We could not reblazon the billet as an orle or a bordure, as both charges are defined by the shape of their field, and thus cannot be used in a fieldless design.
