==December 2020 CL - On Names of Nazi Camps==
On the May 2020 Cover Letter, Alys Pelican discussed the offensiveness of explicit references to Nazis, and acknowledged that banning every place associated with Nazis would ban over a thousand place names from use. A letter was forthcoming from Juliana Laurel dated September 10, 2020, including 50 of these names for consideration. We wish to thank the efforts of all who took the time to provide thoughtful commentary on this particular issue, especially those in Drachenwald who live in or near these places and encounter them in their everyday lives.
As a result of this discussion, we are hereby banning the following names from being used in personal or non-personal names, effective as of this writing. This ban extends to all forms of these place names, regardless of language.
* Auschwitz, Poland
* Babi Yar, Ukraine
* Banjica, Serbia
* Be{l/}{.z}ec, Poland
* Bergen-Belsen (Belsen), Germany
* Breitenau, Germany
* Buchenwald, Germany
* Che{l/}mno (Kulmhof), Poland
* Dachau, Germany
* Drancy, France
* Flossenbürg, Germany
* Majdanek, Poland
* Marzahn, Germany
* Mauthausen (Mathausen-Gusen), Austria
* Mittelbau-Dora (Dora, Dora-Mittelbau, Nordhausen-Dora), Germany
* Natzweiler-Struthof (Struthof), France
* Neuengamme, Germany
* P{l/}aszów, Poland
* Ravensbrück, Germany
* Rumbula, Latvia
* Sachsenhausen, Germany
* Sobibór, Poland
* Sztutowo (Stutthof), Poland
* Treblinka, Poland
* Westerbork, Netherlands
We remind heralds and submitters alike that the April 2020 Cover Letter allows submitters to request name changes that address offensiveness concerns free of charge (including both Laurel and kingdom charges).
The following names, while not banned, are recommended for use with caution. Heralds are reminded of the new updates to SENA NPN5B5 and SENA PN5B5 as published on the September 2020 Cover Letter regarding Offense by Association when considering names with these elements.
* Bernburg, Germany
* Bogdanovka, Ukraine
* Crveni Krst, Serbia
* Dzia{l/}dowo (Soldau/Soldov), Poland
* Falstad, Norway
* Fossoli, Italy
* Grini, Norway
* Gross-Rosen (Rogo{z'}nica), Poland
* Hinzert, Germany
* Jägala, Estonia
* Janowska, formerly Poland, present-day Ukraine
* Kaiserwald (Me{zv}aparks), Latvia
* Kauen (Kovno), Lithuania
* Kaufering, Germany
* Klooga, Estonia
* Koldichevo, Belarus
* Mielec, Poland
* Niederhagen, Germany
* Vaivara, Estonia
* Wewelsburg, Germany
Accordingly, we direct Palimpsest to create Appendix N in SENA to house these two lists of names.
These lists are not intended to be exhaustive; five of the fifty proposed names purposefully do not appear on either list. Names that do not appear here may still be found offensive per SENA NPN5b or SENA PN5b. Names may also still be found offensive due to a combination of proposed name and armory.
We are indebted to Mistress Alys Mackyntoich for her work on researching the items that went onto this letter, as it would not have been possible otherwise.

==April 2020 - From Laurel: Free Changes for Offensive Names and Devices==
In recognition of the developments over the past few years, some people with registered names and armory that are, or have become, unintentionally offensive may wish to change their registrations. For example, the phrase the Gypsy has been identified as hate speech by the Roma people and the United Nations. A submitter might wish to change that byname to one that indicates Roma ancestry but does not have the same connotations. Others feature heraldic charges that have been coopted by hate groups.
Starting immediately, the College of Arms will allow submitters to request name and armory changes to address offensiveness concerns free of charge (including both Laurel and kingdom charges).
