 yup, just looking for the Northkeep standerd, instead of someone elses.
Not really a standard... it's just what everyone does.  If you would like to 
wear something different, no one will mind :-)

 so the front is the Barony and the back has a kingdom arms.
 
Yes, and the "arms" of the barony are restricted to the Baron/ess. (not 
trying to be haughty, just don't want anyone to make a great tabard that they 
will get yelled at for wearing).  Anyone in the barony may use the badge.

 From feed back on the other list this is the current standerd, with kingdom 
 either on the back or the shoulders.

Good, I'm glad they finally decided that all black and gold wasn't required 
;-)

 because he will have a hourde of Red dressed killers  8->

Of course...

 stupid newby question:
 what does voided mean???   I will have to make one of these.
 
Voided - =======  A star with the middle punched out...  It is very easy to 
make it using 1/4" white ribbon - understand? (I can never figure out a good 
way to explain this)
