yup!

It did go back and forth the first few years

then it just stayed with the east until Aethelmearc split off to be its own kingdom

I'm actually feeling sorry for Pittsburghians. I mean, geez, what is their mythic beast Rodney Dangerfield? No respect!

Rahne lives in the East, so I poke at her sometimes

Nah, being Pittsburghers, they take it with a kind of gruff pride

"Too sexy for yah, huh?" Belch

Apparently Tennessee is the Kingdom of Meridies' hat.

Cariadoc has a habit of going around Pennsic and approaching folks to see if they want to have a minute for a tale. He'll sit with you, share a story or two (typically from medieval Persia, where his persona is based), and then wander off to find new people

Tis

Midrealm has spawned several "children"

it's still BIG

Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan

Yup.

I'm peeking at an SCA map with the kingdoms heraldry on it, Northshield has a pretty cool looking one

Yeah, it's pretty

Compared to MIddle, Meriddies heraldry seems lazy "Black and white " "THere are a lot of colors to pick from" "Black and white" "Okay, you want a beast or a ... " "Crown" "JUST a crown?" "Put some stars up top. Done." "Done? What do you mean DONE? " "Done." "But it's rather... basic?" "Black White, Stars, Crown. All Black or white. Done." "You have to have a laurel" "Oh FINE. But it better be black or white." "Sigh Suree sure" 🙂

ha!

Calontir is pretty - purple & gold!

Yup

They put that cross on everything

same with Caid & the four moons

Atlantia's heraldry is fussy, but they have a quality mascot

His name is SPike

Siv would approve!

agreed

Also, Spike is likely a good dad. Sea horse and all

I admit, heraldry fascinates me but I'm too lazy to knuckle down for the minutiae. Would make a great concept though. A high herald who is invested in the symbolism

For changeling I meant. I mean, somewhere out there is an Ass-bittern chimera

"symbolism" is usually more a victorian romantic thing

Medieval heraldry is either a: pretty or b: PUNS

Darn Victorian romantics, they got into my brain!

And now it sounds like a pooka would thrive

Nothing wrong with Victorian romanticism!

Zara is fussing

Some Secretary Bird Pooka designing Blazons "It represents the glorious rebirth of your land, my lord, it's triumphant wake from Slumber" /Sidhe lord coos, pays for the design, walks off/ Also, Butterflies are just damned pretty. I got tired of lions

Zara IS a Victorian Romantic 😉

she be

Mmm.. wonder how presumptive it would be to grant Zara honorary heraldry, no title per se, so it would only apply at Earth Runes

Vashti might suggest it just so she could make a tabard

Choices! Books and spiders and ravens and ghosties...

But it WILL be Purpure & Argent.

Oh of course.

And if it had a dragon on it, it would be a bookwyrm 🙂
