Right now I'm leaning more towards the 2nd one. The crosses symbolizes a devotion to my religion, Catholicism (the Jerusalem cross ties in w/ the crusades, a time of much fervor). The tower symbolizes fortitude, and the oak represents strength, nobility, and authority (of my lord, not mine).

Why not yours?  Or did you mean The Lord, not just a lord?

I like that.  Mine's simpler, the Jerusalem cross signifying my strength of faith in God, and a dragon (or gryphon) which symbolizes the wisdom to be ruled by my faith, my heart or my mind - whatever the situation calls for.

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

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. :)

Sounds good. Email it is. :)

Yeah, It's sable. Thanks, Im torn between that and this one.
Which do you guys think I should go with?

I think this one looks more historically based than the first one.

The first one could be made more historical by spacing the charges a little more so they don't touch. Then it would be fine, and I like it.

The second one does look a little "busy" to me in that it now has three types of charges filling all four quarters. I'd either simplify it or use a different division to get the effect you want. But it certainly is viable.

Heh, just for kicks I made one for William Marshal.



I think at events we should reserve an empty chair for The Marshal. :) (oh man, now it's like the Siege Perilous seat, reserved for the non-existent "perfect knight").

Man, I just have to say, I really like Christopher Valli's, Chris Torres's and Catriona Hughes's arms on the Selohaar site.





EDIT: I just noticed that Chris Torres has a violation of tincture. That grail is metal on metal. Heh. I think you can get away with that if the chalice is "Proper" instead of "Or" though.

Hey, that's a GREAT idea!  You know, I envision a round table and at each place setting, the corresponding knight's CoA displayed, along with their names on the backs of the chairs?

Lord, let me make that a reality!  :)

Are you gonna let Chris Torres know about his tincture violation?

Nah, they probably don't mind.

Yeah, I feel that the 2nd one looks more historical. And as far as Being "busy" I think that it certainly is historically viable, and the charges mean alot more for me.
Heyyyy Sir Ed, would it be too much trouble to change my COA on the roster?  :-[
And I feel that the symbolism of others authority over my own (not THE lord, thats what the crosses are for) is a way of keeping humble, and putting others before myself. When I get some authority it will mean that. Think if it not so much meaning the authority of any one person, say just authority in general. Kinda a reminder of my own authority and also that of those above my station. You know, the order of things.

Thanks again for going to all that trouble for me, Sir Edward.  And thanks for the high-res. clips, too!

Sir Nathan, i like the second one better as well.  BTW, it looks really cool on the roster page!

Paladin, sounds like you've got some good ideas for your CoA.  Can't wait to see it!  If I ever win the lottery, I'll build us a hall we can meet at  (think stone, oak beams, and a fireplace we could all stand in) and we can house the round table and monogramed chairs there.  Heck, I might just go all out and have stalls displaying carved crests and banners like Garter Knights have!  Palms are starting to sweat, must go buy a Powerball ticket ;D
