Unto Marie de Blois, White Stag Principal Herald and the Outlands College of Heralds, does Æðeluulf Munec, Rampart Herald, send well wishes this day. I write you concerning the December Letter of Response for the Kingdom of the Outlands.

I wish to thank the following people for assisting on commentary for this letter, being: Llywus ap Alan Arglwydd, Wharrow; Marie de Blois, White Stag; Gawain of Miskbridge, Green Anchor; and Tyr von Wolfsberg, Wimble.

The following items have been sent to Laurel for final determination:

  1. Alys Bouchard. New Device. Azure, three crescents argent conjoined one and two, in chief a mullet of four greater and four lesser points Or.
  2. Andreas von Wittelsbach. New Name.
  3. Anna Bythewaters. New Name and Device. Per bend sinister wavy argent and azure, a frog tergiant vert and a cattail slippped and leaved argent.
  4. James Boyer. New Name.
  5. John Boyer. New Name and Device. Azure, a lion couchant Or and a chief wavy argent.
  6. Lilian Boyer. New Name and Device. Argent, a cross gules, in dexter chief a quail proper
  7. Stephen Axtell. New Name and Device. Per pale azure and gules, an arm couped embowed sustaining an axe Or.

The following items were returned for rework:

  1. Andreas von Wittelsbach. New Device. Quarterly (checky azure and argent) and (gules, a gryphon passant Or). This falls afoul of RfS XI.3, as it is classically marshalling. Barring conflicts, it would be possible to register either "checky azure and argent" or "gules a gryphon passant Or", so this is clearly marshalling of these two devices. Additionally, there are some artistic issues with the device: Firstly, The gryphon is drawn very small, and is almost indistinguishable as a gryphon. It should be drawn to fill the space better, and possibly have a little internal detail so it can be distinguished from other winged quadrepedial creatures. Secondly, Checky should be drawn with an even number of traits across the top (both of these have 5 traits apiece), and in a quarterly situation, both checky quarters should have the same tincture in the upper lefthand corner.
  2. Caerthe, Barony of. Resubmission of order name: Order of Evan.
  3. Caoilinn inghean Caoimhin Ó Tighe. New Name and Device. Per pale purpure and argent, a Greek symbol 1000 voided, counterchanged.
  4. James Bowyer. New Device. Argent, on a lozenge purpure, a saltire and two crescents in pale argent.

This ends the January Letter of Response, dated this Thirty-first day of February in the year of grace Two Thousand and Eight, being the forty-second year of the Society, and the rememberance of Saint Marcella. I remain in service to Crown and Laurel Sovereign.
