[Ansteorra] Legacy of Lions Crest Tourney

[Alden Drake]

Greetings all,
If you weren't at Legacy of Lions this past weekend, you missed an outstanding 
display of heraldry on the list field.  In the afternoon, there was a grand 
melee CREST battle!  All the fighters on the field adorned their helms with 
fablous crests, where the objective was to knock off, or destroy, the majority 
of the fighter's crest.  There are many photos uploaded to Facebook!  Many of 
the helms were also decorated with torse and mantles.  It was such a fabulous 
display of heraldry.  Many thanks to all of those (fighters and fighter 
supporters) for bringing such wonderful displays to the field.  And MANY thanks 
to Their Excellencies Bjornsborg for hosting such a great melee!

As a herald, I hope the display inspired people out there to consider 
registering heraldic achievement elements (like crests!) with our kingdom 
achievement registrar (Sable Crane Pursuivant), Lady Vyolante Drago do Porto.  
Based on what kingdom awards you have been granted by the Crown, you may be 
entitled to register torse and mantling (AoA level), crests (Grants), mottos 
(Peers), coronets and supporters (nobles/royals).  The rules and 
requirements for registering heraldic achievements, and Lady Vyolante's email 
address can be found here: http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/achievements.php.  Like 
your device, some achievement elements (crests and supporters) can be registered 
to be unique to you!

It was truly magnificent to see heraldry come to life on the field... or in Sir 
Corwin's case death!

Yours in service,

Alden Drake
