I'd rather lean towards removing the scroll outright from the Gules La Valette shield, since that seems to be how it is most commonly depicted in. The idea of completely changing the tincture for the surcoat in the lozengy version seems to me a bit excessive, honestly, considering we have the actual example of its Vert depiction in File:COA la valette2.png, but I admit I'm also not entirely sure what you're referring to with regards to changes to the Nilfgaardian arms, so I'll leave my objections there for the time being.

I still find it really weird that the La Valette infobox for so long used the lozengy version, when the Gules appears so prominently in the same article's screenshots—and I still can't find exactly whence the lozengy version originated in-game. I'd be more inclined to just relegate the lozengy arms to a gallery the same way as (for example) the variant Temerian arms, without concern for vectorizing it, and put a vector of the Gules arms in the infobox.

The sole use of Acqua I could find was in the, which are blazoned in part Di rosso ai tre monti d’argento, su piano d’acqua ondoso (Gules, a trimount Argent on a base Acqua wavy). It seems to me it's using Acqua more as a variation (to specify it looking like 'water') than a tincture… but that water is also not otherwise tinctured, so… \O.o/ I'm not entirely sure this applies to the Tuirseach arms, but neither am I particularly opposed to that interpretation.

@SMiki55 — you mentioned having a palette you stuck to for your arms? If you send that my way I'll use it for any further work I do.

Finally, thanks to Juraj103 for the welcome; I don't altogether know how much I'll be able to contribute to the wiki, but God knows I do love having the chance to work with heraldry, so I'll be happy to help out whenever there's a need (though I shouldn't want to step on the toes of any of the clearly numerous heralds already resident!).
