Heraldry
The heraldic device of the Shire of Fontaine dans Sable is blazoned as:
- Argent, in pale a three-tiered fountain sable spouting azure and a laurel wreath vert.[2]
History
The earliest documentation for the Shire of Fontaine dans Sable is within the Atenveldt Letter of Acceptances and Returns for the month of August in 1983[3], indicating that the Shire predates the foundation of the Outlands as a Kingdom.
It was first announced in the September 2003 issue of the Outlandish Herald that Fontaine dans Sable would be elevated from Shire to Barony in November of that same year.[4] It was announced in the October edition of the newsletter that Duncan Alastair MacRae and Mary of Lyonshall would be invested as the first Baron and Baroness of the locality.[5]

Divestiture
On April 23, 2023, Bardolf and Sabiha met with the populace of Fontaine dans Sable to determine the future of the Barony. In an effort to protect the populace from the administrative burdens of barony status and reduce the risk of officer burnout, it was decided that Fontaine would be divested of its barony status and revert to shire status. This announcement was originally made by Fontaine's seneschal, Alamanda de la Roca, to Fontaine's private Facebook group, and copied to the Kingdom of the Outlands' Meeting House in the comments section of the court report for the Fall Crown Tournament, AS LVIII (2023).[20]
It was determined that the official divestiture would take place at the Warders of the Western Gate[21] event regularly held by Fontaine in September. In the intervening time between the meeting with Their Royal Majesties and the actual divestiture, it is unclear who reigned as Baron and Baroness. According to Wimble Herald, Rowland and Isabella stepped down on April 23, 2023[18][19]. There is then no Baronage or Vicar listed as reigning over Fontaine until September of 2023[6][7].
In honor of their service as Founding Baron and Baroness, Duncan Alastair MacRae and Mary of Lyonshall were invested as the final Baronage on September 2 of 2023. The divestiture ceremony took place the next day[6][7].
