[antir-heralds] some questions of Piles and Tridents

[Caitrina Lions Blood]

Greetings,

 

I've been given some questions that I'd like to get some insight on as I
feel these are great questions to pose to the list for educational purposes
(my own included).

 

1) With regards to a Pile fimbrated, where exactly should the two upper
points of the pile terminate? And how does the fimbriation affect this?
(Meaning, should the fimbriation end at the corners? Or in some other
location).

 

2) If a trident was on said pile and since a pile is an ordinary, does it
'maintain' the trident and therefore carry no heraldic weight? Or can it in
and of itself be used as a CD?
