Re: Heraldry Question

[Brent Kellmer <kellmer@u.washington.edu>]

Fairest of Greetings from Rodrigo, who is almost through with his two days
of work this week and can now go back to 3YC...

AnTir, in which I reside but which is no longer my home (Isenfir in 61
days and counting...), gives out grants-of-arms quite often, but almost
never by themselves.  The kingdom service award (goute de sang) and the
kingdom arts award (jambe de lion) both have grants-of-arms associated
with them.  In AnTir, the holders are known as the Honorable Lord/Lady,
and correctly addressed as "Your Lady/Lordship"  (and incorrectly,
annoyingly often, referred to as "Ladyship X," which has been plaguing
heralds for years now...)

Although I'm not a herald myself, I presume this is an off-shoot of the
Western Rite(tm), because both awards descended from the West's Leaf of Merit.
How orthodox AnTir is, according to Western Rite, I don't know, however, since
in this AnTiran court barons are also given a grant-of-arms, where they aren't
in the West.  Court Barons aren't referred to here as the "Honorable
Baron/Baroness," however.

Just thought I'd drop this into the discussion, since the subject of
western practice came up.

  since he's journeying back to 3YC this afternoon...
