#1 SCA Heraldry

Post by LadyTevar »

So, Nit and I were discussing if he wanted to get a device done for the SCA, since deivces/coats of arms are available to any who wish to register one. All part of the pagentry we wish to create in the Society.

Since I am the Baronial Herald (aka Onyx Pursuivant) we spent a couple hours discussing the matter, and we came up with this:

What's amazing? I can find nothing that conflicts with it. There seems to be no one in the Society that has a device that could be confused with it. This was not an in-depth search, so I could be wrong... but that's just amazing that he came up with something so simple that no one else seems to have taken.

So I got kinda bored and since Tev had asked me earlier if I wanted to do it myself, I decided I'd give it a shot.

It is a very nice heraldic symbol in my opinion, very simple, very balanced visually. If there is anything I did wrong I should be able to change it.

Is the gear a legitimate charge?

Yes. The term is Cogwheel.
