Personal experience has taught me that claims of arms, military decorations, etc. are best viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism, I apologize if that seems rude. Surely the easiest way to silence doubters (such as myself) is to produce your letters patent or matriculation from Lord Lyon.

I figured out early on to not mention ones arms or orders on here.
Learn from Tartanraven and get back to disscussing kilts and tartan.

But like I said, this sort of discourse could have been avoided if he'd just not brought it up. I knew when he mentioned arms and titles, legit or not, there would be a discussion!

May you all have a pleasant Friday.
