Comments will be premoderatedNo twitch drops yet?
The Heraldic Shield should probably be mirrored so that the charge faces "to dexter", or facing to the right side of the shield's carrier. Currently, the rider is facing "to sinister", or the left side of the carrier. This is an unusual choice as in heraldry that can represent retreating. The more common "to dexter" direction corresponds with advancing, like if the shield was held on the left side of a right-handed knight, the charge would be pointing "forward".
On the other hand, if the charge is supposed to represent Saint George, then it's a more common orientation to be facing this way.
Very cool, I didn't know all this. I do think it represents St George, though, as you said in your second comment.
When can we expect naval tournaments?
