Taken under the wing of a kindly patron, they flourished and thoroughly enjoy their role as, what the Western world would call, a courtesan (of sorts). ===== Whereabouts ===== Umesaya/Rhys currently resides in the Barony of [[branches:barony:rising_Waters|Rising Waters]], more specifically in St Catharines, Ontario. ===== Heraldry ===== * **Device**: Per pale raguly argent and vert, an oak tree eradicated and a satyr passant counterchanged. * **Badge**: (Fieldless) Three piles inverted couped conjoined in point sable within and conjoined to an annulet argent, the piles surmounted by a triskelion of spirals Or. * **Mon:** Argent, between two waves in annulo conjoined at the base a Japanese plum blossom gules.
