a good simple book to check out on heraldry is  "The Complete Book on Heraldry" by Stephen Slater.

BTW, the Dering Roll of Arms is the oldest known roll of arms to exist from England. It was made famous by being altered later, by Dering, to forge a knightly lineage for himself.

But it's serving as a sort of model for what I want to do with the membership page on the website. A nice big roll of arms. The ORder of Selohaar does this too:  http://selohaar.org/rollofarms.htm

Rough crack at it: http://www.jba3.com/modernchiv/rollofarms/pages/index

Could use that format and the standard "roster" format on the link on that same page. Both are coming from a database, so no worries of having to double-update any pages. :D

Thank you, Sir Edward!!!!  I was unable to get the ermines in the cinquefoils with the on-line version and was wondering how to do it manually without buggering it up.  That looks AWESOME!!

UPDATE:  Just saw the Order's roll page, and it looks amazing!  Getting very excited!

Man, that's looking awesome! I can cut the A record over whenever we feel the site is looking good, I'll just need the IP(s) of course. We can continue to work that out in email. :)

Absolutely. If you want to take it over to email, we can work on it. Ultimately it'll be up to you as to what you want, but I'll be happy to discuss options and help draw it up.

You're welcome! :) Actually that one took a bit more manual hacking since I wanted to change the angle of the chevron to be lower than what the program did, and the ermine spots all had to be done manually, and even the little red centers in the cinquefoils too. :)

I kept higher-res versions of them for you:

The contact info in the "NOTE" section up at the top works just fine:  "bones at necrobones dot net". Or, @modernchivalry.org, or @toton.org. The username is "bones" in all cases. :)

Got it.  Interesting that you'd choose Bones...its one of my wife's favorite tv shows.  Mine too.  :)

Hit you up later, man.

Pretty cool. :) I'm thinking of how to Blazon it. I think the dark grey would heraldicly be considered sable (black), so it would be something like "Per pale argent and sable, a double headed eagle displayed between two crosses flory counterchanged."

Sir Nathan, very well done.  I like the duality of the image itself...very nice.  In fact, my proposed shield will share some similiarities, I'm torn between quartering or the way you did it; and I'm looking to incorporate my charges in the top left and bottom right of the quarterings.  I'm hoping to use the Jerusalem cross and two leopards passant (top left, bottom right respectively).

Well now...I like that one too...although I think I like the first one better.  What is the significance of the second one for you?
