Keep up the good work Maricopa!

Sorry for my late response!
Yes, the use of purpure is strongly discouraged. I will confer with the armiger.

I agree, I think the original Chinese script looks more "professional".

As far as the squirrels, I do like the new squirrels, but I personally feel they should be bigger (read: taller)

I would like to welcome @Sir Ian Plätschisch as the newly appointed Cunstaval of Maricopa!

And I echo His Majesty's thanks to Count Thord, Baron Hooligan for his years of service as Cunstaval to the greatest (and let's face it, the hottest) of Talossan Provinces!

My Fellow Maricopans,

I come to you today, in line with His Majesty's request here, to solicit nominations for a replacement Cunstaval of Maricopa!

If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for this esteemed position, please comment below!

I hope you get the help you need my friend. Take care of yourself and I hope we will see your triumphant return one day.

That makes sense and is logical, even if it destroys my Air Bud defense.

I will confer with the armiger.

That's awesome! I am a fan of Queen but had no idea Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar, how cool!

I'm sorry I was OOO over the weekend, but after getting caught up, I was also on the same page with the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms that the blazon, without the name, is what is awarded. The emblazon being more open to poetic license within reason. I did not anticipate using the surname on the emblazon on Wittenberg would be a problem, though I understand the reasoning.

However, after doing some research, though rare, it does appear there is precedent for words as charges, not just letters as illustrated with several historical examples here: https://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossl.htm#Letters. This should have also been obvious to me given the split "veritas" in the arms of Harvard University, but I digress.

Since it is clearly important to the armiger that his surname be officially included in the arms, and though out of the ordinary (heraldic pun intended), there seems to be no rule against using words and escrolls as charges, I respectfully propose the following amended blazon for consideration:

QuoteQuarterly, gules and ermine. In the first quarter a book leaved argent, in the fourth quarter a grail or, gemmed proper and in base over all, an escroll argent bearing the word "Nordselvă" sable.

-Green Town

That looks great!

After conferring with the armiger I submit the following blazon for approval:

QuoteQuarterly, gules and ermine. In the first quarter a book leaved argent and in the fourth quarter a grail or, gemmed proper.

I was trying to figure out how to fix the URL too, I'm glad you were able to!

Updated it for you!

Sorry, but when will I be contacted? I have already designed a coat of arms of which His Majesty reviewed and said he believed it to be un good order. I sont know uf there is a process that can be moved along or not or what the process is. Thanks for any guidance.

My apologies, I've been reviewing the design and drafting a message. I'll have it to you within the hour.

-Green Town

Understood, Your Majesty, I will do my best!

-Green Town

It will be my pleasure and great honour to serve the brother of His Majesty.
