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?

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?

That would be rather cool.

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

Uhm, I will come up with more designs!

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.

Pay someone. We have an economy for such things.

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."

I greatly approve!

It is very graceful.

I approve too!

That is indeed quite nice.

Does Elwynn have a treasury account?

Ha, nope. We should get one.

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.

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

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

Scott?

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?

*confirms*

No objections.
