I can help too. I look forward to tracking what else the government brings from consideration into visible action.

Of note as well was the King's exercise of his royal prerogative to deny Baraka Mtajiri's application. To my knowledge, that's a rare occurrence.

Quote from: Tratxan dal Muotă on November 08, 2026, 02:16:24 PMCan I have the language flag on the shield maybe?

I was thinking argent and vert would be a good combination as well -- and if we add some sable in, that could be a good way to representr the Glheþ flag. Let me come up with a draft or two and send them your way. :)

I will note that the use of purple as a color is "mildly discouraged" by our Rules of Heraldry. However, a darker green would be absolutely fine.

As you have not (yet?) been granted a knighthood, you are not eligible for a motto, but I think we could likely come up with a good heraldic representation of el Glheþ, if one does not already exist? (Not sure if anyone else in the Coletx knows if we have a good one somewhere...)

Quote from: Moinul Moin on November 07, 2026, 11:56:20 AM@Tratxan dal Muotă, Do you have any particular preferences or ideas for your Coat of Arms, such as base colours, symbols, or other elements you'd like included?

-OAF

Yes, it possible I would like it to have dark purple and dark green colours, the silhouette of an ancient Greek helmet like this one or like this one, and a normal cross.

If possible, I would like it to have the text "Va Dïeu es va glheþ".

but should green be on the left as worn or as observed opposite? 

I see in the wiki the flag is green over red in times of peace, but when hing vertical should green then be on the right or left as observed?

If this were a flag, would argue that the "normal" top edge of the flag should be the on the observer's left when hung vertically. A quick sample shows that this is the case for other flags, including the flags of the United States, Germany, Estonia, and Poland.

For footwear, the question is: are you the observer of your own shoes? In that case, heraldic rules would say yes; the dexter/right side of an escutcheon is to the observer's left, and vice versa.
