Raven's Corner of Madness & Musings

Argent, a tower gules within a laurel wreath, on a chief sable three towers argent. Huh? Heraldry can often sound like a foreign language, but can be fun once you get the swing of things. I'll be posting name & device updates, research that I find interesting, helpful guides, and other fun bits that I come across. Want a name and device to call your very own? We can make that happen.

This name combines a German given name and Dutch byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA. Vert, a willow tree eradicated and on a chief argent two mullets voided and interlaced sable.

Congratulations!!! You guys are now official.

It is an honor to announce the name acceptance of Pietro of Vatavia (Jose). Congratulations!!!

"Submitted as Pietro de Vatavia, the byname has construction issues. Over the years, precedent regarding what prepositions may be used with registered branch names has been quite mixed. SENA clarifies the situation, allowing registered branch names to be used only "in the lingua Anglica form, ’of Branchname’." Thus, we have changed the byname to of Vatavia in order to register it. Vatavia is the registered name of an SCA branch."

    Hello!!! I'm Maddelena de Ricci, but you can call me Raven. I'm the groups local herald and still very much  'green', but am always trying to better my skills. Still trying to get my footing, but always up for questions. If I don't know the answer, I will hunt it down for you.
