Fantastic Heraldry Furs was to enable everyone on a battlefield to identify each other easily. Warriors gallop- ing on their war horses wore armor and helms, and thus were hard to recognize. Their shields became the ideal area to display family colors. The designs started out as very simple patterns, using one or two colors or a symbol. In the game, we could push the logic as far as linking the alignments of the origi- nal coat-of-arms owners to the colors on their coats of arms. The original bearers might have wanted to display the ethos of their clan, tribe, family, etc. In European history, of course, it wasnt acceptable to behave openly in an evil or chaotic fash- ion. Thus, the colors themselves had no link with anyones philosophy. This neednt be true in fantasy gaming. Naturally, player characters arent encour- aged to behave negatively; it is their job to defeat evil. However, NPCs may want to clearly show their way of thinking. For example, in a campaign featuring numer- ous evil monarchs and monstrous war- lords, these bad guys would have no problem flying banners with appropriately evil-looking symbols! This approach is a natural one for chaotic worlds where many different people (or creatures) with different attitudes and beliefs have estab- lished defendable power bases. DMs give their villians bad attitudes, so why not give them appropriate coats of arms? (Im the King of the Skull-Crusher goblins! So, Ive got a crushed skull on my black banner! Care to discuss it, human?) Creating coats of arms for major foes sets the tone of an encounter or of a whole campaign. Likewise, the good guys might also want to make a statement of their own and proudly raise their banners of justice and goodness! Heres a way to link colors on the coats of arms with both the D&D game and the AD&D® game. Before jumping into this topic, I need to bring up at least one of the fundamentals of heraldry. There are three sorts of tinctures: metals, colors, and Fantastic heraldry furs. Metals include gold, (often replaced with yellow) and silver (often replaced with white). Colors include black, blue, by Bruce A. Heard purple, red, green, and orange (or brown). Furs will be discussed later.

(good, evil, law, chaos, neutrality). Metals paign; others go to great lengths to learn could serve as a way of measuring the about the rules and styles of medieval Colors & alignments intensity of these tendencies, as follows: coats of arms. Heraldry is flexible enough The original purpose of coats of arms As shown in the Color-alignment chart, DRAGON 41 coats of arms in the D&D game have a choice of two colors to represent each alignment. For example, a red-and-black coat of arms would belong to a chaotic owner. If silver separated the two colors, that would mean a moderate tendency toward chaos. If it were separated with gold, that would refer to a strongly chaotic owner. In the AD&D game, there is greater subtlety. The coat of arms just described would belong to a chaotic-evil owner. If the coat of arms were blue and silver only, this would then mean a tendency toward good without respect to law or chaos (i.e., neutral good). Coats of arms using green, orange, and gold could belong to a druidic clan (true neutral). AD&D game combinations can get com- plicated. For example: a coat of arms is divided into four squares separated with gold. The upper right and lower left have a silver/blue checker pattern. The upper left and lower right bear only red. A coat of arms such as this would indicate a tendency toward good (the blue/silver checker), with a strong inclination toward chaos (the red bordered with gold). The coat-of-arms bearer could then be identi- fied as being chaotic good. Furs Heraldic furs are stylized patterns de- rived from the coats of animals, not the actual pelts themselves. Furs are used in heraldry with, or instead of, colors or metals. These are patterns ermine (depict- ing black ermine tails fastened to white fur), ermines (white on black), erminois (black on yellow), pean (yellow on black), and vair (blue bells on a white background representing gray squirrel fur). The rule that color should not be placed on color nor metal on metal does not apply to furs. You could have a coat of arms with natural fur and a stripe of ermine, for example. The use of furs in gaming heraldry is optional. Furs do not refer to alignments like colors and metals. Instead, you can link them to the status of the owner of the coat of arms. See the Heraldic-fur chart for details. As the chart shows, the fur used on a characters coat of arms can change over time. Here are two examples on how to use furs through the life of a character. Mara starts as a 1st-level fighter who gains her coat of arms as the result of an act of bravery during a battle. Shes allowed the use of natural fur. At 6th level, the king permits her to change from natural fur to vair. At 9th level, the king makes her a knight and grants her a domain, permit- ting her to change from vair to pean (or else adding an element of pean on her present coat of arms to show Maras common heritage). Stonefist, a 5th-level fighter, inherits the estate of his father, a marquis. Hed have to bear pean.

  • Daphne & Talia, Part II: the Manticore's Misadventure
    Daphne & Talia, Part II: The Manticore's Misadventure by Doombeez, Forget everything that you think you know about myths and monsters. ...No, that sounds horribly grandiose. I need to dial it back a little. There comes a time in every person’s life when they see their path set forward for them, illuminated by a glorious light of… glory… No. That isn’t better. Take heed and bear witness, mortals, for you are about to behold a tale like no other! A tale of tragedy, romance, and… um… Oh, hells with it. My name is Talia. I am a manticore and this is the story of how I met the love of my life. Somewhere in all of the world, we manticores have our Prey, the one we are destined to hunt. We do not know how they are chosen or where they come from, but that has always been the way of things. Typically a human—though I did have a cousin who bonded with one of Fae heritage. I’m not sure how different it was; we don’t talk much. I hope she’s doing okay. I’m getting side-tracked, though. I’m trying to collect my thoughts here, and sometimes I just have too many of them! There is no way of knowing when or where you will find your Prey. It will happen when the fates decree that it’s time for you to cross paths. That’s what my mother always told me. My sire was her Prey ages ago, just as it was with her mother and sire, and so on and so forth.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Design Your Own Coat of Arms and Learn About Heraldry
    DESIGN YOUR OWN COAT OF ARMS This picture from the thirteenth-century wall paintings at All Saints Church Claverley, Shropshire, shows a knight who could be the emperor Charlemagne, carrying a shield with an eagle on it. This is a heraldic design. WHAT IS HERALDRY? Heraldry is the use of a design on a shield by which the person carrying it could be identified. Nobody else could use the design which would usually be passed on from father to son. When heraldry began, about the middle of the twelfth century, it was knights and noblemen who carried such coats of arms, but the idea spread. Women very quickly started to use heraldry and sometimes a coat of arms would be associated with a particular job rather than a person, so the bishop would have a coat of arms to identify him as the bishop of a particular area. Towns and colleges could also have a coat of arms. Your school may have one. Today one of the best-known coats of arms is the three lions of the England football team, a design which goes back to the three gold lions on a red background carried by medieval kings of England. Sometimes you will find a shield is divided in half, or into four quarters, or more. Each section might represent different members of a family, a marriage relationship, or different things about a person. WHAT CAN BE ON A COAT OF ARMS? Medieval coats of arms were often very simple, perhaps a background colour with a single shape (called an ‘ordinary’) or animal or object (called a ‘charge’) on it.

  • Manticore: a 4096-Core RISC-V Chiplet Architecture for Ultra-Efficient Floating-Point Computing
    Department: Head Editor: Name, xxxx@email Manticore: A 4096-core RISC-V Chiplet Architecture for Ultra-efficient Floating-point Computing Florian Zaruba∗†, Fabian Schuiki∗†, Luca Beniniyz yIntegrated Systems Laboratory, ETH Zürich zDEI, University of Bologna ∗equal contribution Abstract—Data-parallel problems demand ever growing floating-point (FP) operations per second under tight area- and energy-efficiency constraints. In this work we present Manticore, a general-purpose, ultra-efficient chiplet-based architecture for data-parallel FP workloads. We have manufactured a prototype of the chiplet’s computational core in Globalfoundries 22FDX process and demonstrate more than 5x improvement in energy efficiency on FP intensive workloads compared to CPUs and GPUs. The compute capability at high energy and area efficiency is provided by Snitch clusters [1] containing eight small integer cores, each controlling a large floating-point unit (FPU). The core supports two custom ISA extensions: The Stream Semantic Register (SSR) extension elides explicit load and store instructions by encoding them as register reads and writes [2]. The Floating-point Repetition (FREP) extension decouples the integer core from the FPU allowing floating-point instructions to be issued independently. These two extensions allow the single-issue core to minimize its instruction fetch bandwidth and saturate the instruction bandwidth of the FPU, achieving FPU utilization above arXiv:2008.06502v2 [cs.AR] 20 Nov 2020 90%, with more than 40% of core area dedicated to the FPU.

    Scientific Papers, UASVM Bucharest, Series A, Vol. LIV, 2011, ISSN 1222-5339 ANIMAL, VEGETAL AND MYTHOLOGICAL SYMBOLS IN THE COAT OF ARMS OF ROMANIAN ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS - A BIOLOGICAL INVENTORY MALA-MARIA STAVRESCU-BEDIVAN, EMILIA BRÎNDUŞA ŞCHIOPU University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest Keywords: coat of arms, heraldry, administrative divisions, Romania Abstract The paper presents a list of 120 symbols (animal, vegetal, mythological) drawn up in the coat of arms of some Romanian administrative divisions (36 counties, 83 municipalities, 90 cities and other towns and 351 communes). We also discuss which of those elements are more frequent related to a certain macroregion. INTRODUCTION According to the Constitution of Romania, Romanian territory is organized administratively into communes, towns and counties: at the county level – 41 counties (CO), and one city with special status (Bucharest, the national capital); at the town/commune level – 103 municipalities (M), 217 other towns (T) (for urban areas), and 2854 communes (C) (for rural areas) [1]. Elaboration of these administrative divisions coat of arms is made according to strict rules of science and heraldry art, taking into account the local traditions. These rules are stipulated in the methodology established by the National Committee of Heraldry, Genealogy and Sigillography subordinated to the Romanian Academy [2]. Heraldry purpose is to establish the theoretical principles, research, interpretation and development of the coat of arms of a state, city, family, corporation etc. [3]. The shield, as the main element of the coat of arms, represents the field that sits other heraldic elements, such as natural, artificial, chimerical figures. Natural figures can be taken from the stars, can be part of the human body, or may belong to the animal world, plants, etc.
