Okay, as I read the situation and after ample time for other members of the Coletx to comment, here's where we stand:

- The prospective arms and associated badge have been sorted. Beautiful badge art has already been created, and we just need a good enblazonment of the arms.

- There is widespread agreement that it is preferable for the coronation to occur in the GTA, and general willingness to wait until summer for that to happen, if necessary. As we get to February and March, we can check and see anne whether such plans will actually work out for the incoming monarch.

- That leaves us with considerable time to tackle the niceties of the ceremony. A proposal for what will happen, a master of ceremonies, a translation of key parts of the script, and assembly of the necessary paraphernalia.

Is there any other business to put on our radar? We should probably assemble any upcoming grants, and inquire of His Majesty as to whether he would like to make the awards.

Perhaps different parts of this should go to different heralds?

As part of the potential upcoming Accession, I have been working on a draft of Accession Honours that I will first be presenting for advice to my incoming Privy Council and also with the incumbent government. I have a few ideas about things going forward but I don't wish to act unilaterally so will be seeking advice.

On another note, I do think it is perhaps time to elevate the The Fulbright Fellow to the rank of Pursuivant. I'll have a chat with the Dean and The Fulbright Fellow in another thread.

Has there been any progress in the supporters and the crest for my arms? Also, I need a little help in translating into Talossan the blazon of both the arms and the badge.

I have already done the translation, although I'm going to check with Tafi about it.

For the supporters, I have commissioned art through Fiverr, since I couldn't find anything I liked.

Awesome, thanks. Fiverr is a pretty cool resource. I've used it in the past myself. Thanks Dean.

Now things are able to proceed with more alacrity.  I think that we will want to display this on a cream field, since elephants, badgers, and unicorns are all remarkably monochrome. It ends up being fairly striking, with the escutcheon itself standing out from the rest of the achievement.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on September 02, 2024, 07:42:10 AMOkay, here's a mockup of that:


The third and fourth quarters are clipped, as is normal for quarterings like this.

The rules state further that "Members of the peerage are entitled to enhancement of their achievements of arms consisting of a motto, a crowned helm, a crest, and mantling. Dukes alone are further entitled to adorn their achievements of arms with supporters."

Obviously, the king is the source of honours of all sorts, and so you will be able to just do whatever you want, but it is my advice that you adhere to the established system, the better to support the order you will impose and govern.  So I think the only thing remaining would be to choose supporters and a crest, since you already have a motto and mantling comes from the primary tincture (argent).  Did you have any thoughts or preferences?

-Dean

Good morning,

Is it possible to get a copy of the escutcheon in a form like .jpg or .png? Thanks.

For future occassions of granting honours, I would be pleased if we could move the date of the Sovereign's Birthday Honours from 12 October to 14 January as I presume the current date is the birthday of the former king, Duke John. Instead, perhaps we can move from alternate occasions into the general time frame Accession Day Honours, which should now occur on November 30. I would also propose moving Wargaming Day Honours into alternate occasions, so as to prevent too many days of honour from piling up.
