Not the worst larp idea we've had

Idea by [livejournal.com profile] dkapell, embellished by me.

Death by Letters Patent
OR
Fess Up

Someone's been tampering with the records. The whole College of Heralds could have sworn that 'Quarterly, argent and sable' was a long-held device, but no one can find it on the rolls... And when Gerold Blanders, gules a couped stein or, the loudest antagonist of this new submission, turns up ashen in a pool sanguine, palewise a dirk proper, it uncovers a heraldic stain that counterchanges every expectation!

I doubt we would actually run such a thing, but a lot of you would play it, wouldn't you?

Well, South Africa has a heraldic history, and they should have terns, but I don't know that the latter shows up much in the former. Maybe a few times. A springbuck would be much more likely.
