I'm told that it's an SCA-thing to blazon stuff on a bend/bend sinister in
direction to the field rather than the period default.  And so that's why
my blazon ended up the way it did.  You gotta admit, that the emblazon is
fairly reliably reproducable from this blazon.  And that's the goal of our
blazons.
