[Artemisia] Heraldry Notifications and Rejections (PLEASE READ)

[morgan wolf]

I really, REALLY try to support my Kingdom Officers, and even more so support my SCA family in their offices, but rejecting because they used the wrong crayons?  That strikes me as utterly ridiculous, and a real good reason to not bother with registration.  Having said that, I realize that this is a Laurel Sovereign/BoD level rule, not something our wonderful Kingdom Heralds would do to us, which I appreciate.

>on and cross post in any appropriate locations. Notifications.

>Our new Golden Pillar, THL Sine has sent out a number of notifications this
>weekend, clearing a bit of a backlog. If you have had a submission in the
>last year or so and have not heard anything, check your e-mail. Also, have
>your local Herald check their mail, as she has updated the notification
>system to let them know when an approval or rejection has been sent for an
>individual.

>Many thanks to THL Sine for what she has done in her short time in this

>Heraldry Rejections.
>
>There have been two major causes for Heraldry rejections in the last year.
>
>1) Use of wax pencil (colored pencil)/crayon/colored ink from a printer. DO
>NOT use these mediums to color your device. The Laurel meetings in May of
>2011 determined these were cause for return, and your device will be
>returned. Instead, please use Crayola Classic Markers (not the washable
>ones). The 8 count box should have all the right tinctures.
>
>2) New Submission Standards. As of May 2012, the Laurel has phased out the
>old submissions standards (RfS) and has instituted The Standards for
>Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA) http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html.
>All new submissions and resubmissions must comply with these standards.
>Please review these standards.
>
>One of the changes that seems to be causing rejection is "The charges
>within a charge group should be in either identical postures/orientations
>or an arrangement that includes posture/orientation (in cross, combatant,
>or in pall points outward, for example). A charge group in which postures
>for different charges must be blazoned individually will not be allowed
>without period examples of that combination of postures."
>
>Basically, you cannot have a charge oriented in a different direction than
>any other charges on a device.
>
>If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me
>directly at principal-herald at artemisia.sca.org.
