*nod* Cool. That's easy enough.
So the blazon's 'Argent, a fan gules within an annulet azure'. That's simple
heraldry, isn't it? *completely fails to get those rules*
Alright... So this needs to be conflict checked against fans and Escallops
inverted, right? (Escallops are default with the hinge-side up, right?)
Tincture of the field counts for 1 CD and so does tincture of the object,
right? So I only need to be worried about those that are on argent fields
or those that have red escallops inverted, yes?
