From the February 1983 LoAR:[edit | edit source]
Bronwen Meredith Kirk. Erminois, issuant from base a wave azure, crested argent, and in chief in saltire two keys azure. NOTE: Device rejected. There was nearly unanimous sentiment among the College that waves are not acceptable as charges in the SCA. So be it. As waves do not appear to be period European charges, I cannot disagree, so I hereby declare waves to be unacceptable. (A possible exception could be given to the Japanese wave symbol in a mon.) I suggest replacing the wave with a point pointed azure. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/1983/02/83-02lr.htm
