Stellar Scroll should be updating the registration form. Unlike armory
submissions, we're registering the text of the achievement, not the
rendering of it, however, we decided that it is beneficial to have some
form of attached image (even stick figure) to help clarify the
achievement for checking conflicts and to make sure the text that is
submitted is actually what the submitter wants. For example, the
registered supporters of Stargate are (dexter) "elephant salient
contourny proper trumpeting and barded" and (sinister) "horse rampant Or
barded". The question that recently came up: "How are the bardings
colored?" There was no picture drawn at the time and it wasn't registered.
Also, I think we need to look at how we use "contourny" to describe
supporters. Stargate uses it for its dexter supporter because the
elephant faces to sinsiter, where an elephant's default as a charge on a
shield would be facing dexter. One option is to have the default facing
for supporters should be to face the shield, which would mean a
supporter that is contourny would be facing away from the shield. The
other option would be to have the default facing be kept as if it were a
charge (whereby this would mean most dexter supporters facing the shield
would be contourny). In this case, Raven's Fort's dexter supporter,
"bull rampant gules" would need to be revised to "bull rampant contourny
gules"
