Yet another revision of the text! This time it's almost directly copied from LPs of the Lord Lyon issued ~1990, with a few bits from an English grant thrown in. I think I'm finally satisfied with it.

As far as the arms themselves are concerned, I may be making substantial corrections to them in the future, as I'm not entirely satisfied with the plates.
Is there anytihng forthcoming on the commission for myself?
As part of the Banners project, the next arms I'm making are Prince Justin's. After that, I don't have any priorities, so you could very well be next. Your foreign projects are, of course, necessarily on the back burner. I want to finish a few of the native projects first.
