name help (12th century byzantine)
My persona that I am working on is a female who lives in 12th century Antioch. I found some info on the Academy of Saint Gabriel website, and put together what looks like a plausible name for my persona: Eirene Dalassene (feminine version of Dalassenos). Does this sound like an appropriate name? If it is, what do I have to do to get it registered? If not, what do I have to do to change it? | | Thursday, September 1st, 2011 | 11:12 am

Name help - 6th century Gotlander/Swede
Hey all! I have a client looking for a name fitting a 6th century Gotlander/Swede. He wants something as close to 'Wulfgaar Silverhair' as we can get. i found: Wulfagaizaz, Vulfegar, Vulfhar, Wuldgoer, Wulfgar, Wulfhere, Ulfar, Ulvar or Ulfarr here: http://www.sofi.se/servlet/GetDoc?meta_id=1465 in this: http://www.sofi.se/images/NA/pdf/urnord.pdfthe client liked: wulfgar, vulfegar ulfarr (in order of preference) however, I can't read most of the website or pdf (I think its sweddish) to be sure its a viable resource or even applicable to his desired location and time. I also am stuck on the actual full name structure. I realize its per-viking era by most standards, and i'm just not sure where to go. The byname i'm stumped on. Do i just go for a translation into sweedish? That seems wrong, but i'm not finding much direction... I can possibly convince him to document to a later period if this one is completely a wash for something close to his desired by name, but he does prefer to attempt to find his options before making that choice. help? Thanks!!! Sibilla edit to add: One thing I'm concerned over is the date - 6th.. from what i can tell (and I am by no means an expert) Old Norse came into use in the 8th Century and Proto-norse was in used between the 3rd and the 7th. Am I misinformed? I fully admit I got that from wikipedia which I am well aware is not an academic resource, however, I have found it a reasonable starting place with things such as this. also to clearify: At this point - he very much want the period/location more than the name. That may change once i have better data to give him, but I need to respect that desire and see what I can do on that account first. | | Thursday, July 21st, 2011 | 11:55 pm

E-book files, take 2.
I updated my post from yesterday, but so that it comes up again ...
For anyone be interested in having the (current) RfS and AH for Kindle or other e-reader ... here we go! It's not a fancy conversion, but it seems to work (including the internal links within the document).
The files are pretty small and you can grab them from this website:
Kindle should read the PRC files, and most other readers should be able to read the EPUB files. If there's something else you need, please comment and hopefully someone can convert these to whatever you need.
Thank you to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) mamamoira for making the EPUB version! | 11:59 am

RfS and AH for Kindle and other e-readers
Would anyone be interested in having the (current) RfS and AH for Kindle (or any other e-reader that handles .prc files)? It's not a fancy conversion, but it seems to work (including the internal links within the document.
The files are pretty small and you can grab them from this website:
You should be able to upload them with the USB cable or, if you have a SD memory card slot, put them on the memory card. At least, that's how it works with my 1st gen Kindle.
Edit: Now with EPUB files! | | Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 | 5:43 pm

Hi all, I'm trying to find a Maire Quinn, who registered her name in 1992 via Calontir. As far as I can tell, she doesn't seem to be active, so I know this is a long shot. Thanks! Lillia de Vaux Eastern Crown Herald | | Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 | 11:09 am

I will admit this isn't heraldry, but it is something we need to be aware of as amateur scholars
Forgive the off-topic post, but given the number of researchers on this list, I thought it relevant. A SCAdian friend of mine from Pittsburgh has run into an unethical on-line cooking magazine. The magazine found an article on her cooking research online and published it under her name, but without her permission. Their excuse was anything published on the web is public-domain (and they had the audacity to tell her how they had to copy-edit it because it was poorly written -- more like they couldn't read). This is false. This has been picked up by a number of news outlets at this point: Washington Post, LA Times, and MSN to name a few. The way I understand copyright law to work is that copyright is assumed to be true, not released. But, to cover yourself, add a copyright statement to the web page. If you have published any of your research on the web, periodically google an idiosyncratic statement (in quotes) to see if anyone has appropriated it.

Conflict help!
Greetings all! My husband would like to register this device:  Per saltire argent and azure,a raven migrant to dexter and a raven migrant to sinister sable. (My attempt at blazoning.) Also, the submission form version is much more heraldy. This was the "let's knock something together in photoshop for the Fridge Test" version. Now, we're trying to figure out if it's clear this device:  Per saltire argent and azure, in pale two ravens displayed sable and in fess an increscent and a decrescent argent. I *think* we have one CD for change of direction to the ravens (from both up-and-down to one going left, one going right) and a CD for the removal of the crescents. Is this correct? Thank you all, Kolfinna the Noob Herald Current Mood:  cheerful | | Thursday, September 30th, 2010 | 11:11 pm

Greetings all, and a question
Greetings from Lady Kiersten of Bergental! I received my AoA 15+ years back, but am only now, at long last, thinking of registering the device I've long thought to use. I'm all excited for my first event in 8 years, coming up this Saturday - amazing how much time raising kids takes! And here's hoping I get a scroll assignment for the coming season! Anyway, I wanted to ask about this possible device:  I'd be fine with making the bend proper as opposed to sinister, if that makes a difference. [Edit: or vice versa, as this is actually a regular old bend :) Thanks to etfb for the catch; my heraldry's rather rusty!] Well met, all, and my thanks. ETA:  Lozengy gules and ermine, a bend sinister azure | 2:30 pm

Suggestions for my Mon/Device
Hi, my name is Jen, and I posted earlier. After some research, I decided on a good starting point for my device. My persona's name is Itoya no Haru, which if I remember correctly translates roughly into "Haru the Fabric Merchant"(Barbara Nostrand helped me construct this name years ago, and since she's the expert, I'm sticking with it). She comes from the wealthy merchant class, and her family specializes in the trafficking of silk. Silk actually comes from silkworms, but I can't figure out how to draw them on a Mon without looking lame. Can you even blazon worms? Alternatively, I can use 3 spiders, arranged heads towards the middle, in a kind of 3-leaf clover type of arrangement, surrounded by a circle. Since spiders make spider silk, if still kind of works. How would I blazon something like that? Is it even legal? Thanks! | 5:10 pm

Applying European Heraldic Rules to Japanese Mon
Hello, My name is Jen, and I have a Japanese persona circa 1550. I am working on my device, but since Japanese mon are somewhat different than traditional European devices, and since there is that rule that you can't use actual family crests, I am having some problems. Are there any heralds familiar enough with Asian heraldry who might be able to offer me some guidance? It would be most appreciated. |
