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!

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

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

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

Perhaps an oak tree proper instead?

Perhaps an oak tree proper instead? That will work just fine. As soon as the SKA shows up, we'll start the procedures.

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

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

Many thanks, Éoväd If I may - there is one small concern with that: www.kingdomoftalossa.net/index.cgi?lingo=&page=ArmsRulesII. 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.

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

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