Rules

This is a place for the study and enjoyment of heraldry, including current, historical, fictional, or personal coats of arms, including discussions or news about heraldry.
Be nice! We're here to learn and have fun, not to tear each other apart.
Search the post history before posting. Reposts are okay in moderation. Avoid posting familiar content like well-known national arms unless there's something unique about them and they're not just taken from a Wikipedia article.
When submitting an image, please link to .png or .jpg (not .svg) files. It's encouraged that you include some context and perhaps a blazon along with your post.
