THank you for the prompt.  The Da'uded text format is good for this
purpose.

**** ANSTEORRA acceptances ****

   Alaric Cain. Device. Sable, a scorpion between in cross four mullets
   of four points and on a chief embattled argent a roundel between an
   increscent and a decrescent sable.

   Brigitta von Eisenach. Name and device. Or semy of dragonflies
   bendwise vert, a frog purpure.

   Cecily Grace MacBean. Name and device. Per chevron inverted argent
   and vert, a bean plant leaved and fructed and a fish skeleton
   fesswise counterchanged.

       Commenters noted that the pattern of using double given names in
       Scots is not found in Appendix A of SENA. The use of double
       given names in Scotland is found occasionally in the 16th and
       early 17th centuries (FamilySearch Historical Records). As this
       pattern is uncommon, we decline to add it to Appendix C at this
       time.

       Blue Tyger was able to document the byname _Mcbean_, also in the
       FamilySearch Historical Records. Therefore, we can expand the
       scribal abbreviation and register the byname as _MacBean_.

   Celeste Marie Beraud. Name and device. Azure, a spider inverted
   argent charged on the abdomen with a rose azure.

       The given name _Celeste_ can be registered as a feminized form
       of a 9th-11th century French masculine name, _Celestus_ [Celeste
       d'Arezzo, September 2008, A-Gleann Abhann].

       _Beraud_ is a French byname found in a Latin document dated to
       1242 [Calendar of Close Rolls, Henry III: Volume 4: 1237-1242
       (1911), pp. 448-456;
       http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=92874].
       Therefore, it is compatible with the 11th century constructed
       _Celeste_.

   Eirik Halfdanarson. Badge. Quarterly embattled gules and azure.

       This complex low-contrast line of division is identifiable here
       and thus registerable.

   Fortun{e'} Stykewynd. Badge. Azure, a trimount vert issuant from a
   ford proper, in dexter chief an increscent argent.

       This design was documented as an Individually Attested Pattern
       in late period Italian armory. Orle provided more than
       sufficient evidence of both vert trimounts on azure fields, as
       well as trimounts issuant from bases.

   Johanna van Leydan. Badge. (Fieldless) On a daffodil blossom bell to
   chief Or a capital letter J sable.

   Laura Synger. Device. Gules, in bend three roses between two
   bendlets Or.

   Liam Gordon. Name change from William Gordon.

       This name does not conflict with the registered _Ian Gordon_.
       Both syllables in the given name have changed.

       The submitter's previous name, _William Gordon_, is released.

   Mairghread Maire Draigdaimhalachd. Reblazon of device. Per saltire
   azure and vert, a dragonfly argent.

       Blazoned when registered as "Per saltire azure and vert, a
       dragonfly tergiant displayed argent, orbed Or", the dragonfly is
       in its default posture.

   Ren{e'} Damours. Device. Per pale embattled azure and argent, a
   quill pen and a rapier counterchanged.

**** ANSTEORRA returns ****

   Coenred {ae}t Rauenesdale. Badge. (Fieldless) A lion's head erased
   gules charged at the neck with an Anglo-Saxon cen rune argent.

       This badge is returned for redraw. As depicted, the rune appears
       to be some sort of internal detailing and, as such, this badge
       conflicts with the badge of Lorc{a'}n {O'} Fearghail: "Argent, a
       lion's head erased gules".

       On resubmission, the submitter should draw the rune larger and
       better centered on the lion's head. Additionally, the erasing
       needs to be depicted with fewer and larger jags.

   T{o'}t Derega. Device. Per bend sinister vairy argent and vert, and
   argent, a bend sinister raguly on the lower edge purpure between a
   bird volant bendwise sable and a trefoil vert.

       This submission is returned for a redraw. No documentation was
       provided by the submitter or in commentary for such a depiction
       of a trefoil, with a long stem forked at the end. On
       resubmission, the submitter should draw more indentations on the
       raguly portion of the bend.

       We note that Non Scripta provided documentation from Siebmacher
       for a bend raguly on the lower edge.

No pends for Ansteorra.
