Warmest greetings unto the College of Heralds of the Kingdom of Lochac, and unto any others who may read this missive from William Castille, Crux Australis Principal Herald

DESTROY ALL OUT OF DATE FORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had a submission come through in the last batch on out of date forms. The new set of forms were introduced this time last year and became invalid after the end of October Last Year!!

I really hate adminstrative returns!

It is the responsibility of group heralds to ensure that the correct forms are being used.

Before you allow a submitter to forward or before you forward a submission to Rocket, make absolutely sure they are on current forms!

See the Lochac herald's website for the correct forms.

Submission Requirements

Cost: $20 per new submission (name, device or badge). No cost for resubmissions (within the permitted time limit) or branch submissions. Note: a new name and device costs a total of $40. Make cheques or money orders payable to "SCA Inc. College of Heralds". Do not send cash through the post!

Copies required:

NAMES: Two (2) copies of both the form and ALL documentation, including title page of each book NB: The title page is not the same as the book cover! Essays about a submitter's persona may be entertaining, but do NOT constitute documentation. When citing web sites as documentation, you must include a printout of the pages used. Please don't staple your forms, paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.

DEVICES AND BADGES: Four (4) colour copies and one (1) black & white OUTLINE copy. The colour copies should be accurately coloured, preferably in felt tip pen. Colour printers or faint coloured pencil is not acceptable. The colours must be visible across a crowded Herald's meeting. Laurel has requested that gold pen NOT be used, as it deteriorates in files and turns to glue. Please don't staple your forms, assuming that all goes well at kingdom level they are separated and go to four different homes. Paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.

Please include ALL necessary documentation to support each submission. It is the responsibility of the submitter to present their submission in a way that makes registration easy. Name documentation should be as accurate as possible. Failure to provide sufficient documentation is a cause for return of your submission. If you are having trouble with your documentation then speak to your local herald. If they can't answer your specific question, consider writing to Blazons, or contacting me. If I don't know the answer but I will at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who will.

Returns:

Turino Orsini

New Device: Or, a chrevron azure fretty argent between three caravels gules, a bordure azure bezanty.

This device is returned for a combination of complexity and re-drawing. With 9 design elements this is more complex than usually allowed, the rule of thumb maximum count is 8. There should also be around 1/3 to 1/2 fewer bezants, and the fretty should allow approximately half the background tincture to show through. Redrawing this way would greatly reduce the visual complexity of the design.

Saint Heironymus, College of

New Device: Sable,a lion's jambe Or within a laurel wreath argent, a bordure Or

This device is returned for redrawing. The laurel wreath should be circular, without room between the tips for another charge. Also, the central charge could not be identified by the commenters without reading the blazon. The lion's jambe needs to be depicted in a manner that allows clear identification. We note that there no current conflicts with the design - a properly redrawn submission should be registerable.

Pends

Lochac, Kingdom of

Order name: Lochac Order of Grace

This submission is pended to permit Crux to seek permission to conflict from the Barony of Loch Salann.

"Such compound names were rare in Iberian languages before 1600, but we did find one Portuguese example in 1591:<Joa~o Baptista Lavanha> [3]."

" We found one 12th century example of the Portuguese <Oliveira> as a place name in a land grant of a place called <Oliveira do Hospital>. [5]"

"You could use the place name as your surname with or without the preposition <de> 'from', so we can recommend two choices for your name: <Joa~o Baptista Oliveira> or <Joa~o Baptista de Oliveira>."
