Greetings from Modar!
HL Gwenllian ferch Maredudd, Asterisk Herald, asked for
info:
>I need the reason for the return on a device belonging to
>Mor Loft blazoned "Or, a phoenix sable rising from flames
>proper, in chief a strung bow fesswise over two arrows in
>saltire, all within a bordure sable."
In the returns on the September 1992 LoAR, it states:
Mor Loft. Device. Or, in chief a wooden bow fesswise proper
surmounted by two arrows inverted in saltire, and in base a
phoenix sable rising from flames proper, within a bordure sable.
The bow was blazoned sable on the LOI, but the full emblazon
showed it to be brown wood. As such, the device contains four
tinctures and four types of charge, which is right at the edge of
acceptable complexity as defined in Rule VIII.1.a. Added to the
fact that there are three types of charge in the primary charge
group (also disallowed per VIII.1.a), and the whole becomes
unacceptable.
I hope this helps.
Modar
