Ýeah. Ideas? Thoughts? Draft designs?

Let's do it collaboratively?

Coat of arms. Symbols:
1. orchid
2. a tree of some sort?
3.... idk, help, cultural people!

An orchid for Elwynn, a polar bear for Hyperborea?

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:53 pm

Orchid would make sense. The polar-bear needs multiple red eyes though...

A flowing river..

Flowing rivers in the shape of a Y with an orchid between the arms of the Y?

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Mon Mar 29, 2010 3:07 pm

That would be rather cool.

Post by **AryezturMejorkhor** » Mon Mar 29, 2010 4:11 pm

Yeah, it would be very cool.

That sounds...awesome.

It was too difficult making a y-shaped one, so I made up this:

If you like it, want to add/remove summat in it, make up a text.

The idea I had that it was a brooch that you could put on your clothes as a signifier of membership in the house... There's a white and black orchid there (white for Elwynn, black for Lest === harmony) and a snowflake... I'm not so sure about the snowflake

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 12:12 pm

Uhm, I will come up with more designs!

Post by **AryezturMejorkhor** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 6:12 pm

Maybe a moon of sorts could replace the snowflake..
Another idea is to put a thin silver of a river in the black background somwhere

Although this is probably not something previously used in the house, I think using a curvy script (something that looks like Quenya or Arabic) would be nice in the bla bla area.

We need someone with serious photoshop skillz.

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:42 am

Pay someone. We have an economy for such things.

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:52 am

If "someone" is willing, we'll gladly pay.

Daniel's crest, with the black changed to blue so it matches the old flag, and a curvy script for Aryeztur.

The Hyperborean says (well, is supposed to say; it's very much a "it's late and no one will know if I got it wrong" sorta thing) "Vaenion Kalirion Lirikoth --- iur mel akazadal kothal", meaning "House Kalirion of Elwynn --- one land from many."

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:35 pm

I greatly approve!

Post by **AryezturMejorkhor** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:24 am

It is very graceful.

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:48 am

I approve too!

Harvey Steffke · Post by **Harvey Steffke** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:31 pm

That is indeed quite nice.

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:45 pm

Does Elwynn have a treasury account?

Allot · Post by **Allot** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:51 pm

Ha, nope. We should get one.

Post by **Shyriath** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 5:09 pm

Wow, that's pretty nice...

It occurs to me that since the post of Mango King of Arms never got taken away from me (and I couldn't blame anyone if it did, honestly) I ought to at least register this officially. So, shall we say something like the following?

Arms: On an almondine shield of blue field, a white border; in chief a white snowflake and in base a white orchid.
Motto: In black Hyperborean lettering upon the border, the words Vaenion Kalirion Lirikoth upon the left, and iur mel akazadal kothal upon the right.

Er... I don't know which way Hyperborean is written, so I'm making assumptions there about which bit is which. Also, I wasn't sure if the thin blue outermost border should be included officially or if it was just there for demarcation, so I left it out. In either case, I await chastisement if I'm wrong.

Kaiser Mors VI · Post by **Kaiser Mors VI** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:34 pm

Well. There should be a Kalirion Household account... trust me.

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 2:12 pm

Thanks, Shyriath for the blazon! I'll soon decree this as soon as the text is confirmed by Scott

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 6:04 am

Scott?

Daniel Farewell · Post by **Daniel Farewell** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 6:09 am

And you peeps, do you think we should have a different shape for our crest? Are there other changes we should strive for before decreeing it official?

Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:20 am

*confirms*
