[þerxh Sant-Enogat]

Estimats membreux del Coletx d'Armeux Rexhital,
What is my name? Þerxh Sant-Enogat, newly immigrated in our beloved Kingdom, in the province of Cézembre.
What is my request?
If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs
What is my favourite colour ? Red ! Eeuur, no.. Green !
I would indeed greatly appreciate to be guided to transform my initial ideas into Arms I would be proud to present.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Your application is received, grats.

It has been a while since we assigned anything to the Well-Met Fellow.  @C.d.I. Nouacastra-Läxhirescu, MSC , would you like to take this one?

-Dean of the College

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Seems like a no!  Perhaps @Mic'haglh Autófil, MC EiP would like to take this on, instead -- S:reu Long Fellow, how about it?

-Dean of the Coletx

[Mic’haglh Autófil, SMC EiP]

-Dean of the Coletx

I would be happy to! S:reu Sant-Enogat, I'll be messaging you momentarily.

[Mic’haglh Autófil, SMC EiP]

Following consultation with the requestor, I submit the following blazon:

Quarterly vert and gules, I. palewise a muted horn argent, over all a cross ermine.

Not sure if it would be easier to say "palewise a muted horn argent in the canton", I know traditionally quarters are referred to using Roman numerals, but open to suggestions.

[þerxh Sant-Enogat]

A great thanks to S:reu Autófil ! This man is skilled

Estimat Squirrel Viceroy of Arms,
Are there other duties to be fulfilled on my side to have my request for Arms presented for St Aaron's day ?

Once the Dean accepts the blazon and emblazonment, it will be presented to the king. I made an observation as to the proper blazon, and so far have had no reply from The Long Fellow, @Mic'haglh Autófil, MC EiP.

Have patience, this will get done, but a good grant of arms is always worth waiting for!

Viceroy and Long Fellow and petitioner,

The muted horn appears to be argent and sanguine -- I'm wondering whether or not the mute should also be argent, or whether it should be blazoned differently, or whether this is fine.  I'm fairly sure that Fox-Davies has something on the subject, but haven't had a chance to look it up yet.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

So, the horn is a pretty old charge, and it usually takes the form of a traditional hunting horn.  That's clearly not the intention here.  I don't know much about instruments, but if there's an easy way to more specifically describe the instrument (a trumpet?), it'd be good to use that.  Not a huge deal if it's just a generic modern horn.

Fox-Davies suggests that when the accoutrement of an item has a different tincture, and it's not a well-established convention, that should be mentioned -- as when a bugle-horn is "veruled" with ribbons of a different tincture.  So I'd suggest that the mute's tincture needs to be described.

Quarterly vert and gules, in dexter palewise a muted horn argent and sanguine, over all a cross ermine.

or

Quarterly vert and gules, in dexter palewise a muted horn proper, over all a cross ermine.

[Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB]

Would the sanguine mute of the horn violate the rule of a color on a color?

-SVA/REH

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I don't think so, tentatively, since the charge overall obeys the rule of tincture -- like, I think you could have sable, a rose sanguine slipped or.  But you raise a good point.  Maybe the mute could be sable?  What color are mutes?

-NRH

[Sir Lüc]

What color are mutes?

Usually silvery. Except for practice mutes, which are plastic doodads.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

So that would neatly solve the issue - the Viceroy's blazon is perfect.  The emblazonment would just need to be adjusted to make the mute argent.
