Well met, good scribes! 
I was wondering if there's any lore floating about regarding the smiths of Cormyr and the makers' marks they use. I would imagine that they're forbidden use of draconic imagery (as the military companies are), so I would imagine that everything else is fair game? Also, assuming that the smiths (specifically what I'm dealing with) can't use draconic symbols normally, is it plausible for a great-great-great......-grandparent to have been granted that privilege for exceptional service, perhaps that ancestor was a knight of the realm who retired to become a smith?
Sorry if this is exceedingly obscure...

Hmmm, maybe ask Ed?
By the way, it's Cormyrean, not Cormite. |

An excellent idea... And that's what I get for listening to their very silly songs 
(I'll fix the appropriate bits, thanks!  ) |

I'm so flattered. |

'Cormyte' is acceptable, if archaic, and still survives in the folk song 'The Cormyte's Boast'. 'Cormyrean' is more common in the modern (1370s) era. |
