Bigger coat of arms

[CJ Miller]

I made a high-res version of the Shirithian coat of arms.



The motto is bastardized Latin for "Malarbor demands it".

Also, I made a PDF version of the Charter.

I might do the same with the Lawbook and Decreebook someday if they weren't amended so often.

[Ari Rahikkala]

Quite neat. How about a "paper is cheap" version of the charter... i.e. one where each section starts on a new page? The Arbiter heading is especially badly orphaned...

[Daniel Farewell]

Cool, CJ! You should become Shireroth's official scribe, pdf-ing important documents, decrees, speeches and stories of importance!

[Edgard]

Good work, looks great!

Thanks man.

At the risk of raining on the parade:

The bottom right hand symbol is not a snowflake, it's a Star of Vergina. Those need sixteen rays or they don't count. The things on the top are mangoes, not circles, and the tree's supposed to have a crown on it. There should be a crown on the top of the shield, and two moose supporting. Malarbor requiro is is misformed Latin: it should be something more like "Malarbor id mandat", and I think our real Latin motto is "Shireroth sumus, tempus in parte nostrum est".

We definitely do need a better version of the crest, though. You should talk to Craiteman, he seems pretty good with this sort of thing.

PDF charter is really neat, though. Good work.

I used Inkwell Ideas' Coat of Arms Design Software, which didn't have a star of Vergina or a mango; nor did it have support for crests or supporters.

Machine translator. And the Latinized form of Shireroth is Sirithia.

It wasn't Craitman that did the arms, it was Regicollis, and he's nowhere to be found.

So, a CoA design software that doesn't do a star of Vergina, crests, supporters etc? I think the name is a tad misrepresentational.

Where did you get that idea from?

[Daniel Farewell]

The best ever micronational arms might be the ones issued by Harald to his wife, Sigrid.

We should definitely find that guy who made those arms. But he charges though. Harald should know more.

[Erik Mortis]

As I said, though you had already logged off, last night. I like the charter and with the proper symbols and motto the crest would be a nice option for use.

"Shirithian" of course

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

I don't quite follow you. Going around declaring the "Latinized form of Shireroth" sounds like fail to me.

[Erik Mortis]

The Latin for Shireroth is 'Shireroth'. It's a proper noun with NO Latin root.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Latin doesn't have an "sh" sound, so those tend to get changed to 's's - ie Washington's Latin name is Vasingtonia (see Latin names). And most places get an ia or ium at the end. So I think "Sirithia" is a pretty good guess (except for the part where it sounds like "Sirithil")

[Daniel Farewell]

Hm. Our "native" name is Sxiro. So Schiro - Schironis?

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Whatever.

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

Nice work- would I be right in saying, however, that the three circles at the top of the shield should in fact be Mangoes?

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

Sorry. Skimreading posts is a paticularly irritating habit of mine.

[CJ Miller]

I added the crown and the Vergina sun to create a second draft

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Looks better.

[Andreas the Wise]

Better, but I still want to see mangoes.

[Daniel Farewell]

I hate the mangoes, and I hate the elk. Remove them from Shireroth completely

[Jacobus Loki]

HATES Mangoes, and wants to be Kaiser someday?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

He's Swedish - Elk are probably to him the nightmarish harbingers of Sami marauders hurtling down on their toboggans from the Finnmark to bring rapine and inedible reindeer jerky into suburban Stockholm. Whilst Mangos are the only means of effective defence available to the impoverished Swedish conscript army.

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Actually, the conscript army has been abolished. It will be professional and voluntary from now on.

[Jacobus Loki]

Must vary among Swedes.

Someone should draw "Sami marauders". Probably allies of the fierce !T'Kung nomad legions of the Kalahari.

[Erik Mortis]

I thought the tree came OUT of the crown.. not wearing the crown.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Moose =/ elk!
