Coat of Arms

[MelonBallZ]

Since the noble houses of Spires are being fleshed out I figured I would share a few resources and tips for any that might be interested in designing their own.

The flash app is slightly touchy in my experience, but overall the selections are nice and consistent without any paywall.
It allows you to add a House Name, Motto, and you can even order actual merchandise.

Instead of saving their image I just use Snipping Tool and grab the excerpt I want to dump it into GIMP.

My Blazon seems to be much more developed and focused around the education aspects of Heraldry.

You can choose your values and then it suggests additions to your heraldry based on what they actually represent. That's pretty neat, but the misspelling of personality also makes me scratch my head. We all have bad days and maybe I'm just a peasant and that's a reference to old English or something. Either way it's definitely worth something as a creative tool even if the designs are a bit too intricate for my taste.

It even gives the proper description of the heraldic components which is also pretty darn neat. If you don't like the automatically generated ones, you can make your own.
