HH Season 3: Difference between revisions

 

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__

After the success of the first and second seasons of Heraldry Harry, in May 2018 the event was expanded to Reddit. The voting began to be made there and the community was free to participate in a more broad event, still Twists hadn't been implemented yet. Resulting in alternative arms for the recipients based solely on their form answers.

 

===Nº 3===

'''Blazon:''' Vert, a wolf's head erased langued Argent and crowned with a laurel wreath of the same. For a crest, a dexter arm embowed and vambraced proper, grasping a gamepad Or buttoned Vert.<br>

'''Symbolism:''' The wolf with the wreath is a cant on the recipient's name and the colours were chosen as they are the main colours used on relief maps, cartography being one of the recipient's interests. The crest calls on the recipient's interest in history and gaming, and makes for a nice dichotomy.

===Nº 6===

'''Blazon:''' Azure a chevron Gules fimbriated Or, over which, in chief dexter, a paintbrush Argent criné sable in bend sinister, and in chief sinister, a telescope Or in bend.<br>

'''Symbolism:''' None given.

===Nº 14===

'''Blazon:''' Vert, a bend stairy Gules fimbriated and engouled by dragons between two tongs bendwise reversed all Or. For a crest, a phoenix Or issuant from flames Gules.<br>

'''Symbolism:''' The armiger stated that s/he was looking for something a little different. Hopefully this does the trick. The bend stairy relates to progression through the social order: per bend asserting that a social hierarchy exists and stairy asserting that one can climb up it. The dragons engouling the bend refers to the recipient’s (presumed) ancestral heritage and to debaters exchanging fiery words in argument – plus, dragons are cool. The tongs relate to the recipient’s value of precision and efficiency. The phoenix, in addition to being a symbol of rebirth and rising from the ashes, relates to the armiger’s present residence, the gold hue of the bird relates to the recipient’s value of truth. All of the charges share the common bond of fire, the closest medieval tie to electricity. The green and red present in both shield and crest represents a departure from the recipient’s current colours. There’s not a lot behind that choice other than that red and gold together make a bold combination (and potential ties back to the recipient’s ancestral origins).

===Nº 17===

'''Blazon:''' Vert, two torches Or flamed proper crossed in saltire tied with a ribbon Argent.<br>

'''Symbolism:''' Torches: science and religion, two guiding flames, sports, two children. Tie:

'''Blazon:''' Per fess, Vert, between two hands fesswise affronty Or, a quill palewise of the same and Or, a phoenix of the first rising from base, wings displayed and elevated, langued Gules and beaked Or.<br>

'''Symbolism:''' The hands represent the recipient's value for kindness and their readiness to offer help. The quill represents their passion for linguistics, conlanging, translating and worldbuilding. The golden colour is a nod to the gold in Ukraine's arms and flag as well as their ideals of liberalism. The phoenix rising, but trapped in the lower half of the escutcheon represents the recipient's not yet acomplished desire of leaving their home country. Vert is used for its symbolism as the colour of hope, of finishing Uni and exploring the world further. Both tinctures used seem kind to me, non menacing, as my recipient has hinted as valuing.
