Glossary of TermsThis glossary was taken directly from the Glossary of Terms as Used in the Rules for Submissions, whichwas written as an appendix to the rules.I have added some entries, particularly common terms and abbreviations which are used in this handbook.These entries are marked with an asterisk (*).I have also added a few explanatory notes. These notes are marked with a dagger (†).A&O*—See O&A.Abased*—Applied to a charge which is placed lower on the shield than usual. See also Enhanced.Addorsed*—Placed back-to-back. May be applied to a pair of charges or to the wings of a charge.Affronty*—A frontal view, applied to an animal or monster charge whose entire body is turned toward theviewer.Alternate Persona—Any identity a participant in the Society uses other than primary persona.Annulet*—A plain undecorated ring.Annulo, In*—Arranged in a circle.Appaumy*—Applied to an open hand with the palm facing the viewer.Argent—The heraldic tincture silver or white. Argent is a metal.Armed*—Describes the tinctures of the horns, claws, fangs, beaks, hooves, etc., of beasts, birds, or monsters,when different from the tincture of the rest of the charge.Armiger—A person who has been awarded the right to arms. Arms can only be given by a sovereign in theSociety, and come in three levels: Awards of Arms, Grants of Arms, and Letters Patent. A person withregistered personal armory who is not an armiger has a device, but armigers have arms.Armigerous*—Having an AoA and registered arms.Armorial*—A listing of armorial devices organized alphabetically by the names of the owners. See alsoOrdinary.Armorial Element—A component of heraldic design. An armorial element may be a charge, a line of division,a line of partition, a field treatment, a tincture, or other component that may be used in designing armory.See the rules, Part VII, for discussion of Compatible Armorial Elements.Armory—Any design that the College of Arms registers or protects, such as devices or arms, badges, etc. It mayalso apply, for our purposes, to trademarks, logos, and other graphic symbols that resemble heraldicbearings. See the sections on Registrable and Protected Items in the Administrative <strong>Handbook</strong>.Arms—A heraldic design that uniquely represents the person or group that owns it. Within the Society, “Arms”are reserved to people who have been awarded arms by their sovereigns.Arrangement—The relative placement of a group of charges on the field.Attired*—Describes the tinctures of the horns or antlers of deer when different from the tincture of the rest ofthe charge.Azure—The heraldic tincture blue. Azure is a color.Badge—A piece of armory used by an individual or group to identify possessions, retainers, members, or otheritems. A badge is distinguished from device, which is used solely by its owner.Balance—The state of having charges distributed evenly. Balance does not consider peripheral charges, like achief. If the charges are all to one side, the design is unbalanced. Balance is not the same as symmetry, asthat changes the facing of the individual elements to reflect each other. Heraldic charges usually all face thesame way, but have their visual centers arranged as if they were symmetric.Bar*—A diminutive of the fess, always used in groups of two or more.Barbed*—Describes the tincture of the leaves visible between the petals of a flower, when different from thetincture of the rest of the flower.<strong>Middle</strong> <strong>Kingdom</strong> <strong>Pursuivants</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong> 165<strong>2nd</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> - 2002
