==Definition:==

===May 2012 - default orientation on bend sinister:=== 
[[#G_ANSTWreFal]]'''Falco Silva.''' Reblazon of device. Sable, on a bend sinister between two skulls argent three lizards statant.
Blazoned when registered in February 2000 as ''Sable, on a bend sinister between two skulls argent three lizards statant heads to sinister base vert'', the lizards are actually facing to dexter base, which is the default for charges on a bend sinister.
http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2012/05/12-05lar.html

===October 2006 - default orientation of tertiary charges:=== 
[[#92]]'''Shamir ibn Abd al-Rahman.''' Name and device. Argent, a crescent gules and on a chief nebuly sable in fess a scimitar inverted reversed and a scimitar argent.
The scimitars are fesswise, as expected for long charges on a chief. Concerning the default orientation of charges on ordinaries, Laurel has previously noted:
[''on a chief gules three recorders palewise argent''] Long thin charges such as arrows, swords and recorders default to the fesswise posture when placed on a chief or a fess. Thus, even though all these charges are palewise by default when on the field, it is also necessary to blazon them as palewise when they are on a chief.
It is an incorrect oversimplification to state that "charges on an (ordinary) are oriented (ordinary)-wise by default". A crescent or fleur-de-lys charged on a fess is in its default palewise posture, not fesswise. If a saltire were charged with a cross crosslet, the cross crosslet would be in its default palewise (or crosswise) posture, not saltirewise.
A more complicated rule of thumb, but one which recreates period practice with greater accuracy, would be:
>> (1) Charges on a bend are bendwise by default, and charges on a bend sinister are bendwise sinister by default.
>> (2) Charges on any other ordinary have the same default for such a charge on the field (which is generally palewise.) This statement has the following exceptions.
>> (2a) "Long thin" charges such as arrows tilt to follow the ordinary on which they lie.
>> (2b) When charging an ordinary such as a chevron, saltire, or pall, which has some diagonal arms, the charges may all be drawn using the same default for the charge on the field. They may also be drawn with the centermost charge in the default posture but the outermost charges tilted to follow the arms of the charge. (There is a fair amount of evidence indicating that the difference between these two forms of emblazon may be purely artistic in period. However, the SCA has so far always blazoned this distinction and given corresponding difference for changing the posture of the charges.)
Once again we are reminded that while blazon is a type of technical language, the people who developed it in the Middle Ages weren't computer programmers, and the people listening to it weren't computers, so blazon also partakes of natural language.

===December 2018 - bend of Champagne===
"The motif of a bend doubly cotised the interiors of the cotises potent counter-potent, long associated with the Counts of Champagne but not exclusive to them, is registerable as long as the name does not imply cadet branch status to Champagne."
