The Duke of Fox Grove....

...This is a "fox", and not a "lion"?? I understand canting arms but...? Baron of Bastanchury (talk) 11:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Wait, I get it, the "head" is a fox's head. I will have a word with the King of Arms. Baron of Bastanchury (talk) 11:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

We have an Ellsworth King of Arms

Your Lordship, I honestly appreciate the work you are doing in compiling this gallery, but we already have an Ellsworth King of Arms. In most nations, what is technically awarded it the specific blazon. Done well enough, they should be able to have multiple people create their own version from those words and have them identifiable as that individual's arms. In Westarctica, what our King of Arms awards is the arms themselves. Taking it upon yourself to make changes to an individual's arms without conferring with the Baron of Abele (our King of Arms) or the individual to whom they belong is inappropriate and an overstep. I spoke with the Duke of Fox Grove, who wants his arms restored to their original version.

I have more to say on the matter, but will refrain from airing the rest publicly. Please expect a private message on Facebook shortly--DukeBearPeninsula (talk) 14:49, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Temporary removal of Count of Dentdler's Arms
