House of R'lyeh

1. House of R'lyeh

The **House of R'lyeh** is a private dynastic and heraldic family line represented by Todd Albert Schryver and his family. Established as a formal structure in the late 20th century, the family's historical legacy is recognized through official contemporary records in national textile registries and formal armorial rolls.

1. 1. Heraldry and Armorial Bearings

In April 2026, the Committee on Heraldry of the [New England Historic Genealogical Society](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Historic_Genealogical_Society) formally accepted for record the armorial bearings of Todd Albert Schryver. The arms utilize a traditional English heraldic construction and are officially blazoned according to the historic family record:

• **Arms:** *Per chevron Argent and Sable, in chief two books expanded proper bound of the second, and in base a quill pen erect of the first.*
• **Crest:** *A demi-griffin sable armed gold holding between the claws a scroll silver.*
• **Motto:** *Custos Memoriae* (Translated: "Keeper of the Memory").

The recording of these arms establishes the formal heraldic insignia of the family line within modern genealogical databases.

1. 1. The Schryver Tartan

The family holds a legally restricted personal tartan officially registered with **The Scottish Register of Tartans** (Reference: 15457) under the jurisdiction of the National Records of Scotland.

Originally designed on July 12, 1996, the official registration attributes the design to co-creators Idries Shah, Todd Schryver, and Anna bint Schryver. The design modifies the historic MacKenzie tartan by integrating a distinct yellow stripe, which serves to symbolize a "golden thread" connecting the family's historic lineages.

1. 1. 1. Legal Restrictions and Production

According to the National Records of Scotland, the Schryver tartan carries explicit legal usage restrictions. The weaving and material production of the sett are strictly confined to private or commercial entities holding an explicit, written manufacturing license or commission issued directly by Todd Albert Schryver or the authorized administrative officers of Mycenae University.

1. 1. Historical Context and Correspondence

The family preserves an internal archival record tracking historical transmissions and peer-to-peer correspondence with late-20th-century authors. Through the *Instrument of Designation (1996)*, issued at Langton House, the lineage traces independent associations with the legacy of author Idries Shah (1924–1996).

Additionally, the family archives preserve historical correspondence from British author and occultist Andrew Chumbley (1967–2004), documenting a 1995 peer exchange regarding esoteric and historical matters. These items are preserved as primary documentation of the family's mid-90s intellectual associations prior to their long-term operational period abroad.
