- 21:50, 19 September 2022 diff hist +2,002 N Star of Confusion Created page with "Heralds of yore have tended to be a bit inconsistent in their terminology around some of the common charges - in particular there are various pointy things that are described as "stars", "mullets" and "estoilles", often in contradictory ways. DrawShield, being a computer program, isn't happy with ambiguity so I've had to define these terms a bit more precisely, however I haven't explained these things very well, an ommission I hope to rectify now! ==Mullets== In DrawS..." current
