[ANSTHRLD] Blazon and Device help: Argent chape ploye ermine

[Joseph Percer]

This must be blazoned as per chevron throughout ploye. We do not allow
charged chape fields, as the practice was not done in period.

But we do allow you to blazon your way out of a style problem.

Reblazon: Per chevron throughout azure and ermine, in chief a sheaf of
arrows inverted, and a stag's head cabossed argent.

Relevant Precedent:

These precedents specifically set SCA policy for SCA stylistic rules
concerning charged fields which are per chevron throughout and chapé.
Period armory almost never uses any charges on a chapé field. In
period armory using uncharged chapé fields, the line of division often
extends down so that the field division could be interchangeable with
per chevron throughout. Thus, we will continue to allow the use of the
blazon term chapé for uncharged armory which resembles the period
armory described above. [Aemilia Sabine, 02/2003, A-Calontir]
