Augmentation
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?

The Layers issue aside, I think a charged canton will work better than putting something into the middle. You want the cross to still be clear and distinctive -- it's Your Charge, and better to keep that recognizeable. A canton would still leave that pretty clear.
The book idea is interesting -- not quite as distinctively an augmentation as the tyger, but easier to draw. I still like the idea of working the shepherd's crook in there somewhere, though...
