[ANSTHRLD] Eldwin's Submission II

[kevinkeary at aol.com]

Device commentary only. I bow to Alasdair on the name.

The two charges are of equal weight, and this should be blazoned
Purpure, in pale a mullet of five points voided and interlaced within and conjoined to an annulet Or and a mermaid in her vanity proper

To blazon the pentacle as 'interlaced', the interlacings should be shown via internal detailing, which arm goes over and which under at each crossing.

As you have it blazoned, with the mermaid as primary, it should be larger and the pentacle smaller. However, it is in conflict with Sabine d'Angers
Purpure, a mermaid in her vanity proper crined Or a ford proper
with only the change of secondary from a pentacle in chief to a ford in base. At least, I'm pretty sure the difference in position of the secondary counts as nothing.

As it is depicted, however, with two primary charges, I found no conflicts.

EVICE

ubmitted device is (I believe the blazon would be):

Purpure, a mermaid in her vanity proper, in chief a mullet of five points voided 
nd interlaced within and conjoined to an annulet Or.

ou can see it at http://eldwin.loveshade.org/images/ms_device.jpg

Note that a pentacle or pentagram is now accepted in SCA heraldry.  For 
eference, see  http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/loar/2009/03/09-03lar.html#8  
nd look under Ailis Linne.

Mermaid/Merman -- a seamonster with the body of maiden conjoined with a fish's 
ail. It is usually depicted with mirror and comb, and in that position is 
lazoned as a mermaid in her vanity. Mermaids are erect affronty by default, and 
 mermaid proper is a caucasian human with green tail and yellow hair -- for the 
ule of Tincture a mermaid is considered to be neutral. " according to 
ttp://heralds.westkingdom.org/CommonBlazonKnowledge.htm

s my blazon right?  Any conflicts?  This have a chance of passing?  Thanks.
