Augmentation

[msmemory_archive]

Blush. People are saying the nicest things about my work :) I love it, but it's embarrassing.

So what shall I use to augment my arms? The Crown did not specify, so I believe I get to choose and submit the modification myself. (Hm, probably get to pay for it myself too.)

Not doing this with a poll, just opening discussion. I could have what I think of as the default thing, a (metal) canton charged with a blue tyger passant, the badge of the people of the East. This tyger could be plain, or he could be bearing something - a shepherd's crook, since I am Shepherd's Crook Herald? or some totem of Thorvald and Svava who gave me the right to augment?

Someone on the East list suggested I charge the canton with Hebrew letters, but given my arms (see icon) I think that's not a good idea.

What else am I missing that I might like better?

I keep thinking a book....

Oooh! Oooh!
Just a book, or a tyger with a book?

Or a book with a crook? It almost sings, doesn't it?

I think that should be up to you. But I think of you as managing books - either historian's, or heraldic, or using a ledger to organize a march of precedence, or maintaing a Royal Schedule, or organizing a poll.

So, I think just a book. What you scribble on the cover is up to you. :-)

A book with a tyger and crook on the cover might be just the thing...
