Fergus, armory belonging to a group should be registered as well.  Household 
badges are quite common.  I'm glad you're here.  Consulting with a client is 
always easier when you have an actual client.

"Demi" means "cut in half".  Bendlets are thinner bends, and only come in 
sets of more than one.  (One bend, two or more bendlets.)  This is an SCA 
rule, not a medieval one.

Whoops.  I wasn't making a suggestion -- I was trying to describe it for the 
benefit of the heralds who couldn't see it yet.  I don't think it will pass 
at all, and really like Emma's suggestion that they add a silver piece to 
make it a chevron per pale argent and Or, if you want to preserve your 
surcoats and shields.

Careful.  Several of the augmentations of arms for members of this kingdom 
are simply an Ansteorra star added to somebody's arms.  I suspect that the 
addition of the star would add the appearance of an augmentation, and make 
an already shaky submission appear much worse.
