I know there's an Alvish shield still to do, but I think this is the Inglish stuff that's been requested.

Sir Claire Book, the Fiddler-Mage:

Sable, on a bend sinister argent, an open book proper.

Nienor, identity-thieving Marizu:

Vantasable, on a bend sinister épiné arghent, a book proper.

('épiné' is also known as 'acacia thorned', fyi)

Linstar, newcomer in Plort:

Vert, on a chevron sable a star Or, a vial of glitter urpure.

(It is not typical to use a Suvian colour on a Plortian shield, but glitter is an exception. There is debate over whether it is Properly urpure or arghent, so it needs to be defined whichever is used.)

Linstar, troll of Kwotef:

Per fess apilakoro, urpure and vantasable, guttée-de-paillettes arghent, crossed swords Orzure flaming gewels.

(Marizu heraldry is so much fun - and so much work. "Guttée" is a special term for a scattering of droplets; the real versions include guttée-de-sang (red, for blood) and guttée-d'olives (green, for... olives).)

Knight Fox of Orange, definitely human:

Or, a fess tenné, a circle Or.

(I love the simplicity of this. Could have used 'orange' as a colour, but as far as I can tell it isn't actually different from Tenné.)

Wear your shields with pride! Except the ones which are of Marizu origin, in which case set them on fire and laugh as they burn.
