Marian of Heatherdale. Badge. (Fieldless) A lion passant guardant argent dimidiated with the hulk of a ship purpure.

This is being returned for violating RfS XI3, marshalled armory. This is not a charge; it is merely a visual effect of the dimidiation, which is a form of marshalling of two independent pieces of armory. In Parker’sGlossary the illustration on p.537 shows this clearly: no attempt is made to combine the charges on either side; they just happen to touch where the line of division cuts them off. Unless and until there is some documentation of the use of this combination as an independent charge not resulting directly from dimidiation, this cannot be registered in the SCA.
