Heraldry

The colour of the cloth everything else is painted on.

Up to eight, at most one main emblem. Order is not yours to choose and that is on purpose: layers are painted in heraldic order, so a bordure is never buried under a beast, and two people who pick the same layers in a different sequence get the identical code. Colour choices that would exceed four tinctures or break the rule of tincture are unavailable.

No layers yet. A plain field is legal arms.

Groups help find a shape; they do not change paint order. Open a group or search in ordinary words such as star, ring or small shield. A matching second-colour option appears on a selected main emblem.

Preview each addition in a legal colour on your current design. Black and white shows each shape on its own.

A few charges are restricted, and they are not in the list above until a charge code reveals them. One may be reserved for a class of House and another commissioned for a single player, so there is no single reason and the page does not pretend there is. A herald issues a code with /arms grant.

No restricted charges revealed in this browser.

Codes add up rather than replace each other, so a second code keeps what the first one revealed, and Remove takes one back off again. The set is kept in this browser and nowhere else, which is also why it is not part of a shareable link.

A charge code is a convenience, not a secret. It reveals the charge here and confers nothing at all. What lets you officially bear one is a permission node in game, and /arms set refuses a registration bearing a charge you do not hold it for. Physical decorations remain copyable with looms and /arms apply; /arms verify tells a registered bearing from a copy. Ask a herald for the node, not just the code.
