SENA Armory Conflict (SENA A.5.G.7.a.)

"Changes that distinctly affect the number of extended wings (from wings folded to raised, or from wings seen on one side of the body to both sides) are sufficient for a distinct change." http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#A5G7a


Quick Reference: Bird Postures:

http://heraldry.sca.org/armory/bird-postures.html (formerly in the Heraldic Primer)

Wing postures

Like the beasts and their head postures, birds have wing position variants as well that are worth blazoning but not worth a CD. But note that: > An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting the submitter's ability to display the arms in reasonable period variants, we will no longer specify "elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001)

Posture Defining traits stylised drawing Example
Addorsed Both wings on same side of body File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/bird6.gif File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/addorsed.gif
Displayed Wings on either side of body File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/bird7.gif File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/displayed.gif
Elevated Wingtips away from body File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/bird8.gif File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/elevated.gif
Inverted Wingtips tucked back towards body File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/bird9.gif File:Http:heraldry.sca.org/armory/postures/inverted.gif
Often, the two wing position variants will be used together, thus:

#x--Precedents:-Definition:Definition:

Aug 2004 - angel wings default:

"we will follow the stated default from Parker and declare that an angel's wings are displayed by default when the angel is affronty." [2004 LoAR]

June 2003 - specifying elevated/inverted:

There is also no difference for whether the wingtips of the displayed wings are elevated or inverted. We expect that the same policies that apply to displayed wings on displayed birds should apply to displayed wings on winged objects: An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting the submitter's ability to display the arms in reasonable period variants, we will no longer specify "elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001) [2003 LoAR]

(Restricted, Reserved, SFPP, OOP)

May 1983 - insect-winged monsters:

Caterina Leonora de Forza. Return of: Vert, a Bengal tiger couchant guardant to sinister with Tiger Swallowtail butterfly wings elevated and addorsed proper within a bordure Or. "The device is not period style. To my knowledge, the only wings added to beasts in period were those of bats or hawks..." http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/1983/05/83-05LAR.html

#x--Precedents:-Conflict:Conflict:

May 2005 - bird vs. bat wings:

"we cannot see granting a CD between bird's wings and bat's wings, even as a stand-alone charge." [2005 LoAR]

June 2003 - tips elevated vs inverted:

There is also no difference for whether the wingtips of the displayed wings are elevated or inverted. We expect that the same policies that apply to displayed wings on displayed birds should apply to displayed wings on winged objects: An examination of the development of the various heraldic eagles shows that the direction of the wingtips of a displayed eagle is entirely a matter of artistic license. To avoid incorrectly limiting the submitter's ability to display the arms in reasonable period variants, we will no longer specify "elevated" and "inverted" when blazoning displayed birds. (LoAR August 2001) [2003 LoAR]


May 2002 - cd for wing tincture:

"There is one CD for changing the tincture of the wings, which are half the charge." [2002 LoAR]


Sept 1997 LoAR - tincture of wings CD:

Just as we will give a CD for changing the tincture of the wings on a winged monster, so do we give one for changing the tincture of the flames of a phoenix." [1997 LoAR]

Jan 1995 - bird-winged vs. bat-winged creature:

"[a winged serpent vs a bat-winged tree python] The change to the type of wings is too slight to count for the necessary second. [i.e. there is not a significant difference between a bird-winged and a bat-winged creature.] [1995 LoAR]

July 1996 - adding wings generally a CD:

[registering two unicorn's heads couped and a pegasus' head couped at the shoulder] Since the unicorn heads are correctly drawn, with horns and beards, and since adding wings to a charge is general[ly] worth a CD, this does not violate our ban on similar yet unlike charges (the sword and dagger rule).
