SR - Proposed Heraldry

Salut, Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

HE Pendaran asks:

Lions, naturellement, have been the principal charges discussed.  Several
versions of gold lions sejant or rampant upon sable , sable semy of mullets
Or, and pean have been broached.  Sir Kief suggested a lion's head affronty
erased.  Daniel de Lincolia counter-suggested a lion's face (caboshed--no
neck).  I personally think the lion's face (sans neck) looks too much like
a door-knocker.  Several folks have sugested keeping a pair of sable stars
(of the Ansteorran variety) upon a gold chief or something of the sort.
Aquilanne proferred a mullet of five greater and five lesser point issuant
from base (which, on a sable background would, I suppose be Or).

The lion rampant is aggressively period, but I think we'd have a bitch of a
time avoiding conflicts.  The lion's head affronty allows the artists a
certain amount of license with facial expressions.
