[Artemisia Roll of Arms]

Actually, I believe the device is correct the way it is on the Roll of Arms.
The blazon for the Kingdom device is "Sable, on a pile between two griffins
combattant, each maintaining an arrow Or, an ancient crown within a laurel
wreath sable".
According to the SCA College of Arms, the default position for an arrow is:
"Arrow:  	Palewise, point to base; when fesswise, point to sinister
with the point facing  pointing down."
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.  If I am, I will get it fixed on
the Roll as soon as I can.

Please... is there any way we can fix the Kingdom arms... About 5 years ago
a digital version was made with the arrows are pointing down... it is
wrong... and now that has propagated many erroneous copies... including some
spiffy banners.

I just know it was originally with the arrows upward... it probably makes no
difference heraldically... but it has been bugging me for a bit... just
wondering.
