In [[heraldry]], a '''gore''' is a [[charge]] which sometimes considered an [[ordinary]] and at other times a subordinary. It consists of two curve lines, one issuing from the [[dexter chief]], the [[base]], meeting in the centre of the shield. Traditionally the gore is considered an [[abatement]] indicating cowardice. [[SCA]] heraldry does not recognise abatements however, and gores may be used freely within the society with no implication of cowardice.
