Dear fellow believers, as I had conversation with the King Connor some weeks ago, I was considering creating coats of arms to members of this Order. Inspired by the coats of arms of the Templars, I give a suggestion of a coat of arms for your appreciation, even if you do not adopt it. The parts in light grey need to be replaced for personal heraldic characters.  Knight/Dame coat of arms  Commander coat of arms  Commander with Star coat of Arms |

Wow, these look great, Oscar! You are much better at heraldry and digital graphic design than I am. I like where all this is going, but I'd like to make a point for all of us to consider. First, as I'm sure you already know, red Jerusalem crosses are used by the Order of the Holy Sepulcher in its heraldry. Now I'm not saying that we couldn't use them as well, but that decision should be made with full knowledge that we would be copying the symbolism of another Order. That is part of the reason why up to this point (on both the EOST's coat of arms and on the Principal Patron's coat of arms) a more generic red Maltese cross has been used. If this is something y'all think we want to do, then I'll make alternate version of what Oscar made with Maltese crosses instead of Jerusalem crosses just so we can see them side by side. |

Sure, that Chancellor's coat of arms is still going to look the coolest thing ever with a Maltese cross.

Sorry it has taken me so long, but I have just finished alternate proposals for member coat of arms with Maltese crosses instead of crosses potent.

I know these versions don't look as good as what Oscar made, but I hope they give you the overall impression. Now I love heraldry and I think this is definitely something we should do. However, as I see it, we have three options (speak up if you think of another one I'm not considering): 1. We keep the red Maltese cross on the Order's flag and coat of arms and have crosses potent on the members' coat of arms (Oscar's versions). 2. We keep the red Maltese cross as our emblem and display it on our flag, our coat of arms, and the coat of arms of members (my versions). 3. We adopt the red cross potent as our emblem, use Oscar's versions of the members' coats of arms, and change the Order's flag and coat of arms to match. Thoughts? |

I think that we should keep the Maltese cross. There's something about it, something more explosive, if you will, about the Maltese cross than the cross potent. But that's just my own opinion.

My fellow brothers of faith,I know I have not been very attentive to the Order, but macronational life has occupied me very much and it will be for more two or three months, if the things goes well. However, I know I still owe personal coats of arms and, to not be entirely indebted for so long, I give you a "large coat of arms" with a suggested motto. Do we have any? I don't know, but I thinks that's a good one: "Deus Vult"; it means "God Wants".Fraternal greetings! Attachments:

Oh, really nice! Which program do you use to design the coat of arms?

Nice! I look forward to have my own Coat of Arms one day. I'd focus on study (both school and personal) for now. I am sort of a scholar for the Order  |

If you want, I can order to my Academy of Heraldry to design an alternative coat of arms for Trebia. Even a flag os this sort of thing. If you want, let me know.
