=Heraldic Primer (old version):=
'''New version is at''' http://heraldry.sca.org/armory/newprimer/h4f5.shtml
The field may be divided into multiple sections in certain conventional ways. The field is still considered to be a single layer, so no section is considered to be "on" any other.
In general the sections of a divided field are [http://heraldry.sca.org/primer/blazon.html#blazon_verb blazoned] in the order that one would read a page: primarily from top to bottom and secondarily from left to right, as one faces the shield.

'''Low-Contrast Complex Lines of Division'''
All combinations of tinctures which have good contrast (as defined in [http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A3B2 A.3.B.2]) are allowed with plain line and complex lines of division.
Combinations that share a background tincture (e.g. ''argent'' and ''ermine'') are not allowed.
Combinations of tinctures which do not have good contrast and do not share a background tincture are allowed for:
* Plain lines of division
* Complex lines of division if the armory is field-primary
Fields with low-contrast tinctures separated by complex lines of division may be obscured by primary charges. Thus, divided fields with low-contrast tinctures with complex lines of division will be registered with an overlying charge only if the identity of the line of division is clear.
 
=Heraldic Primer (old version):=

The field may be divided into multiple sections in certain conventional ways. The field is still considered to be a single layer, so no section is considered to be "on" any other.

The primary standard for low-contrast complex lines of division is that they be readily identifiable.
==Four-part Field Divisions==
{|
| ''Per saltire// sable and argent. || //Quarterly// sable and argent.
|-
|| http://www.sofyalarus.info/heraldicart/HeraldicPrimer/persaltire.gif]]
|| http://www.sofyalarus.info/heraldicart/HeraldicPrimer/quarterly.gif]]
|}


In many cases, a charge overlying a low-contrast complex line of division will render the line of division unidentifiable. Thus, divided fields with low-contrast tinctures with complex lines of division will be registered with a charge overlying the line division only if the line of division remains readily identifiable.
=='''Eight-part Field Division'''==
{|
|''Gyronny// sable and argent.
|-
|| http://www.sofyalarus.info/heraldicart/HeraldicPrimer/gyronny.gif]]
|}


In some cases, even if there is no overlying charge, a low-contrast complex line of division may be unidentifiable and thus unregisterable. Similarly, in some cases, the specific shades used in a submission may render a low-contrast complex line of division unidentifiable and thus unregisterable, even if the combination has previously been registered.
=='''Many-part Field Divisions'''==


Some low-contrast complex line combinations which have been registered recently are:
With these divisions, the number of parts is usually an unspecified even number greater than four.

From Wreath: Change to SENA A5F
From Wreath: Change to SENA A5F


The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5F to allow a substantial difference for changes to the field for all fielded armory, not just field-primary armory. Those suggestions, with some modifications are accepted. ''[See [http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A5F A.5.F] for the revised wording.]''
The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5F to allow a substantial difference for changes to the field for all fielded armory, not just field-primary armory. Those suggestions, with some modifications are accepted. The revised wording for A5F:
 
F. Standards for Difference through a Single Substantial Change of Field for Fielded Armory: A new submission does not conflict with a piece of protected armory if the two fields have a substantially different partition as defined below.
 
Field-primary armory, that is, armory which has no primary charge group, including armory with peripheral ordinaries, whether they are charged or uncharged, may also be clear of conflict by the addition or removal of a primary charge group, as described in A.5.E.1 above. Field-primary armory may also derive substantial difference from a substantial change of tincture as defined below.
 
All fielded armory may also be clear of conflict by having two independent changes, including two independent changes to the field itself, as described in A.5.G.1 below.
 
1. Substantial Change of Partition: A new submission is clear of any other piece of protected armory when it substantially changes the partitioning of the field.
 
a. Total Addition or Removal of Division: Any divided field has a substantially changed partition from any plain field. The multiply divided furs are considered plain fields for this purpose.
 
For example, Per pale azure and vert is substantially different from Vert, and thus clear of conflict with it. It is also substantially different from Vair or Potent.
 
NOTE: Section A5F1b is unchanged...

From Wreath: Change to SENA A5G1
From Wreath: Change to SENA A5G1
The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5G1 to allow all fielded armory to receive multiple DCs for changes to the field which previously only applied to field-primary armory. Those changes are accepted. ''[See [http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A5G A.5.G] for the revised wording.]''
The December 23rd Rules Letter proposed changes to SENA A5G1 to allow all fielded armory to receive multiple DCs for changes to the field which previously only applied to field-primary armory. Those changes are accepted. The revised wording is:
 
1. Changes to the Field: Distinctly changing the tinctures, direction of partition lines, style of partition lines, or number of pieces in a partition of the field is one distinct change (DC).
 
Armory can be cleared of conflict by a single substantial change to the field as described in A.5.F above, through two distinct changes under this rule, or through two distinct changes under any combination of rules in A.5.G, including changes to peripheral ordinaries and tertiary charges on them.
 
For example, Per chevron argent and azure, a lion gules does not conflict with Chevronelly argent and sable, a lion gules; there is a DC for changing at least half the tincture of the field (A5G1a), and a DC for changing the number of pieces of the field (A5G1d). For example, Per pale indented argent and azure, a lion gules does not conflict with Per fess argent and azure, a lion gules; there is a DC for changing the direction of the partition lines (A5G1b), and a DC for changing the style of the partition lines (A5G1c). For example, Per pale azure and argent, a lion gules has one DC from Per pale azure and bendy argent and sable, a lion gules (A5G1d), but does not receive a DC for the difference in tincture (A5G1a) as it is less than half of the field.
