Éovart Andrinescu: A Request for Arms

[Éovart Andrinescù]

My name is Éovart Andrinescu. 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. My favorite colours are blue and orange. For my arms, I was considering tierced per pale, with light blue on the left, white in the centre and orange on the right. I was also thinking of incorporating some kind of Celtic cross, as a way of paying homage to my (mostly) Scottish heritage and/or, more specifically, an oak tree, the symbol of Clan Anderson.

EDIT: Although I've just read that the Celtic cross is one of the more popular symbols of Neo-Nazism and white pride, so perhaps a cross fleury (used on CoA of several members of Clan Anderson) and an oak tree instead.

There really is no concern having a Celtic Cross on your CoA. I seriously doubt anyone will associate it with anything racist. But it's up to you, of course!

[Éovart Andrinescù]

Well if there are no concerns, I would prefer a Celtic cross to a cross fleury. But thanks for the reassurance!

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

How / where would you like the devices to be placed on the field? And what tinctures?

[Éovart Andrinescù]

I think that I would like just an oak tree Or in the very center of the field, if that makes sense.

That makes sense... but we can't have Or on top of Argent ( both are considered metals)

[Éovart Andrinescù]

Perhaps an oak tree proper instead?

That will work just fine.

As soon as the SKA shows up, we'll start the procedures.

I have asked The Fulbright Fellow to help you with your CoA request.

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

Azul S:reu Andrinescu!

I am Txec dal Nordselva, otherwise known in the Royal College as the Fulbright Fellow. I am more than happy to guide you and help you craft arms. I've looked over this thread and I am trying to ascertain what you would like for charges, tinctures, etc. I see that originally you asked for a celtic cross placed over a per pale field with azure and argent, then you asked for an oak tree proper in the center of the shield. Let's fine tune this a bit and then we can get more of the process done. Can you recap for me what it is exactly you are interested in?

Thank you,
Txec dal Nordselva @ TFF

[Éovart Andrinescù]

Thank you S:reu dal Nordselva,

I've had a think about it, and I respectfully request a field tierced per pale, azure, argent and tenne with an oak tree proper in the very centre.

Many thanks,

Éoväd

If I may - there is one small concern with that:

II. ARMORIAL STYLE

II. 4. Contrast –

The use of sanguine or tenné in arms, except by special permission, is prohibited; but they may be used in badges.

[Éovart Andrinescù]

I see. Perhaps tierced per pale, azure, argent and sable instead of tenne?

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

I have not forgotten about your request and I will work on a mock-up today or tomorrow. I apologize for any delays.
