SR - Proposed Heraldry

[Martin, Brian]

Are we feeling a bit testy, Daniel? A simple disagreement without the 
nasty edge would have sufficed. Okay, so an Ansteorran star issuant 
from the base may not look all that great or be all that period. It 
sounded good at the time because of its symbolism. *shrug* If its not 
good heraldry, we its easily done without. Or so goes my *opinion*.

Please point me at some period examples in armory of star- /
sun-like objects issuant from base.  While you have someone
looking (I can recommend some armory researchers, such as
the Academy of S. Gabriel, if this becomes serious), have
them find examples in period armory of stars of greater and
lesser points.

Also tell me how in the world you're supposed to tell it's
an Ansteorran star when it's issuant from base.  Because of
the point of the shield cutting off most of the star, you'll
see one major point and two minor ones.
