Appendix G: Some Specific Elements that are a Step from Core Practice

http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#AppendixG

As discussed in A.2.B armorial designs documented under the Core Style rules may only have a single step from period practice. This is a list of some specific items that are a step from period practice. In general, types of charges and motifs similar to these are likely to be ruled a step from core practice. However, if they can be demonstrated as occurring in period heraldry, they will no longer be considered a step from core practice.

A. Charges: The following charges have been ruled a step from period practice:

  • compass star
  • pawprint, footprint, etc.
  • valknut
  • hexagon
  • complex machines known to Europeans
  • chief doubly-enarched
  • cross of Saint Brigid
  • a triskele or triskelion arrondi

B. Motifs: The following motifs have been ruled a step from period practice:

  • counterchanging a bordure over a central ordinary
  • a spiderweb covering part of the field
  • a bend bevilled with charges around it
  • a gurges as a tertiary charge
  • a schnecke with secondary or tertiary charges
  • charged gores, charged gussets, and charged complex-line tierces
  • counterchanging a field treatment across a field and ordinary
  • jessant-de-lys with any charge other than the head of a leopard or lion
  • the head of a leopard or lion jessant of any charge other than a fleur-de-lys
  • a central charge on a gyronny arrondi field drawn with the corners of the field in the center of a gyron
  • animate charges oriented in annulo (see the August 2019 Cover Letter for details)
  • three charges in three tinctures in the same charge group (not a step from core practice if the charges are the same type, see the September 2020 CL for details)
  • three tomoe in annulo, specifically misutomoe (see the March 2019 Cover Letter for details)
