Pôl dal Nordselvă Coat of Arms request.

[Pôl dal Nordselvă]

May it please His Majesty,

I am Pôl dal Nordselvă , brother of King Txec, herby apply to the Squirrel King of Arms to approve and acknowledge my personal coat of arms. If it so pleases the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs. I would make the background Dodger blue, but that might be unusual. Also I humbly ask to not need to bring a shrubbery! Coincidentally the proposed coat of arms I present includes a holy grail. Pure coincidence...

Thank you for your request, which is in good order.  Different shades of blue are not done, but emblazonments have no standardized hues -- if you end up with azure arms, it can be any shade you wish.  The Green Town Pursuivant, @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat , is assigned to handle this request.

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

[King Txec]

There is a hope that his arms could be ready in time for the Sovereign's Birthday Honours, as that is Pôl's birthday also. If not possible, no worries though!

I submitted proposed arms. I can remove the motto until approved if needed.

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.

Hi, what about this. I changed things a bit based on your suggestions.

That looks great!

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

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

[King Txec]

No other escutcheon in our armorial bears the name of the armiger. The name should be removed.

Is that a requirement to remove the name? I thought it was allowed in heraldic arms.

[King Txec]

Our rules of heraldry supersede any other established systems. https://wiki.talossa.com/Rules_of_Heraldry#5._Badges,_Banners,_and_Adornments

I'll leave this for the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu to decide.

With respect I'd like to have this considered as presented. I didn't see anything in the wiki document that prohibits a banner with the surname, that was why I added it. I'm not looking to cause issues. I appreciate the consideration requested, Using my surname is for a sentimental reason. Because neither I nor His Majesty have male offspring, our family name will become extinct upon our death. I'd hope that can be taken into consideration.

With respect,

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I would like to make a key point: there is no name on the achievement. The achievement is the blazon: Quarterly, gules and ermine. In the first quarter a book leaved argent and in the fourth quarter a grail or, gemmed proper.

The thing with the name is a picture, a rendering of that blazon. And while we make a practice of creating fairly standardized, dignified, and pretty emblazonments, they are not being awarded officially and the use of any particular one is not something that we govern.

This label, then, is not under consideration for the grant. It does not appear in the blazon.

If the armiger wishes his name to be a key feature of the blazon, then that is a separate question.  A redesign might be possible.  But the label is ornamental in this depiction, and it will not be awarded.
