SCA Laurel Sovereign of Arms
The Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA)
The Rules for Submissions, As approved April 29, 2012 and updated July 15, 2013.
"This document contains the standards Laurel uses to evaluate all submissions of names and armory for registration. These are the authoritative standards - other documents may summarize or provide simplified versions, but submissions must meet the criteria as laid out here."
Blue Tyger Herald - Heraldic Submissions (Formerly the Eastern Crown) is responsible for handling all heraldic submissions from East Kingdom residents."
Administrative Handbook of the College of Arms of the SCA
January 24, 2009, modified August 17, 2013
I. Registration Limit
B. Individuals - Individuals may register no more than six names and six pieces of armory. Any submission by an individual which would otherwise exceed this limit must be accompanied by a release of one or more items already registered to that individual to accommodate the new item[s]. Neither heraldic titles nor augmentations count as items for this purpose, though the arms to which the augmentation is added do.

Online SCA Ordinary - Master Index *****
"You can also find currently-registered armory"
"Select the first letter of the category you wish to view: A-Z"
- Example. Click on 'K', scroll down to 'Keastone' and click. This will bring you to the
Armory Description Search Form with the search field automatically completed to show the approved/passed
items (blazon) that matched the description.
- By checking this list of
blazon (specific text used to describe devices) you can check for conflicts or matches.
Armory Description Search Form *****
"which allows you to search for registered items that appear under a particular heading. This difficulty will be corrected eventually, but for now the (Online) SCA Ordinary (above) is much more useful (...) for conflict checking".
For some Armory Description Search Hints ****
Search Forms for the SCA Armorial ***
"You can find currently-registered armory starting at the index for the on-line SCA Ordinary. If you are trying to look armory by its description, or doing conflict checking, you almost certainly want to start here.
There are also five other search forms available (from the total of six):
Name Search Form
"which allows you to search the SCA Armorial database for items associated with a particular name."
Name Pattern Search Form
"which allows you to search for items associated with a name, even if you don't know the exact spelling of the name."
Blazon Pattern Search Form
"which allows you to search for blazons containing particular words or text patterns. Please do not use this for conflict checking."
Date/Kingdom Search Form
Complex Search Form

Medieval Armorials

"...regrettably there is almost no artwork on this website. Instead it is the intention to provide a survey of medieval armorials, the surviving manuscripts and to present selected unpublished or hard-to-get armorials."

Medieval Heraldry Archive
"This collection of articles on medieval and renaissance heraldry is intended to help historical re-creators to choose authentic armory. This archive was created as a parallel to the Academy of S. Gabriel's Medieval Names Archive, originally created by Arval Benicoeur, and as with that site, the articles published here were gathered from various places, and some of them appear elsewhere."

The Medieval Names Archive ***
"This collection of articles on medieval and Renaissance names is intended to help historical re-creators to choose authentic names."
The Academy of Saint Gabriel
"The Academy is a group of around 50 volunteers who research medieval names and armory. Our primary purpose is to assist members of medieval re-enactment groups like the Society for Creative Anachronism to find historically accurate medieval names and coats of arms."
Familysearch.org
"FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world. Millions of people use FamilySearch records, resources, and services each year to learn more about their family history."

For my personal Device:
March 2012 Letter of Acceptances and Returns - Cover Letter
"As regards octopuses, it seems that in English at least there was no distinction drawn in period between octopuses, with eight tentacles, and squid and cuttlefish, with ten tentacles. The word <polypus>, meaning a cephalopod having either eight or ten tentacles, is dated in that spelling to 1578, and in other forms to at least 1527.
As we desire to use period terms whenever possible, based on this research we will no longer use the blazon term kraken, but will instead use calamarie or cuttle-fish to describe squid. Due to the similarity with the modern word, we will use the blazon term polypus to describe the octopus. The SCA default orientations remain the same, with polypus defaulting to tentacles to base, and calamarie defaulting to tentacles to chief. There is no difference granted for type, only for orientation.
We may, on a case by case basis, retain the use of the modern terms for items already registered in order to preserve a cant."
