Padraic was kind enough to make up .gifs of the Kemrese flag. If I have mastered Attchmnts I should have attchd my personal favourite: the Dragun Rhys with bold gold trimming.

I was just about to have a go at reconstructing it but it has occured to me that a fantasy short story that I wrote for a NZ NASFCon would translate very well into Comroig sentiment. So maybe I'll start translating it and feed it to the assemble multitudes. Kemrese Althistorical Note: It has occured to me that with the creation of the Federated Kingdoms in 1805 and the death of King Henry of England and Scotland in 1807 that the current king of Cambria succeded the Stuart dynasty as the King of the Federated Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Cambria. It was a rare occasion in British history as the Princess Charlotte technically became Queen of England and Scotland and sat beside her husband King Constantine of Cambria, the only period in Kemrese history when the court in Castreleon was presided over by a Queen Regnant! - andrew.
