dragon
wings (which are
actually bat
wings) symbolize
flexibility,
adaptability and
movement, as
bats are much
more
manoeuvrable in
the air than
birds. The
Gamelyon is tied
to the Arthurian
Legends, which
ties into the
armiger’s
enjoyment of
fantastic
literature.
The
Sword &
Eagle Pommel :
The eagle
represents and
honours the
armiger’s
ancestors and
the hilt and
sword honour
their struggle
and survival
through
migration,
slavery and
transition. It
also honours the
numerous members
of the family
who served in
the military and
survived
wars.
There
are five suns
because
the number
five symbolizes
the Eons with
the current eon
being the
central larger
one. The suns
represent life,
action and
energy. They
also represent
the immediate
families of the
armiger and his
wife Morina
: one for
each set of the
siblings, the
armiger's
parents and his
wife being
expressed by the
central
sun.
The
crest sword is
pointed downward
as a
representation
of combat that
has ended. It
was the
armiger’s desire
to enter the
military, but
that plan fell
through. Also,
once again, the
Eagle is raised
in a position of
honour.
Pennon
- The raised
pennon is a
personal
admonition to
continue
developing my
servant,
leadership and
mediation
styles. I am to
do so with the
meanings of Vert
and Argent,
inter-mixed, in
mind.
The
badge represents
a sword ready
for use, but
only as a last
resort. The
dragon wings
embody
flexibility and
options. The
stars mirror the
symbolism of the
shield stars,
while the eagle
has also been
described on
both the shield
and the crest.
