Definition:[edit | edit source]

==November 2020 - On Oriental For several decades, the use of the term "Oriental" has been increasingly seen as tainted by a history of racism against the people of east Asia, their culture, and their artifacts: I myself encountered this fact as a student in the mid-1990s. And while it is true that every person's experience is their own, it is also true that the problems of racism and bigotry remain, and that a term that once simply meant "Eastern" now encompasses other baggage which we do not intend to carry.

Therefore, effective immediately, we are discontinuing use of the term "Oriental" to disambiguate charge variants. New blazon will be determined and appropriate reblazons will occur as we proceed.

Affected charges to be reblazoned soon include:

  • Oriental dancer's bells, which will be reblazoned as dancer's bells with the difference left to artistry.

Conflict:[edit | edit source]

March 1999 - handbell vs church bell[edit | edit source]

We give no difference between a handbell and [a] church bell. (Carillion, Barony of, 3/99 p. 13)

January 1993 - bezant vs hawk's bell[edit | edit source]

We're willing to grant a CD between a bezant and a hawk's bell, although perhaps not Complete Difference of Charge. (Meurisse de Blois, January, 1993, pg. 20) http://heraldry.sca.org/precedents/jaeprec.html
