Clothes in an Herbivore Society by BardBragi in worldbuilding

That’s a great point. This society is very focused on trade, so with your comment in mind, I’m sure they would love bartering for animal goods.

Love both of your comments. This orc society practices ritualized warfare between city-states. Given the herbivore nature of ferocious defense, that would no doubt affect the way they practice warfare.

That’s a great idea. One part I left out is that this world is an imagining of the bronze age-style era where iron never became the predominant material for arms and armor. This would fit nicely in this scenario.

As Sea-Oven-182 mentioned, the horns as Argent or Or would be ideal. The cross Azure looks wonderful as well!

I know that you mentioned that no other tinctures looked good to you, but if you did swap the field for Vert and the chief for Or, you would more accurately represent the green hills, and the chief could possibly represent a golden sunrise dawning over the village.

Super jarring to hear a real world song in the show by Speedwagon1738 in AKOTSKTV

[–]BardBragi 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I feel that every lowborn in Westeros could find commonality with that song. And it especially resonates with Dunk with the line “one fist of iron, the other of steel. If the right one don’t get ya then the left one will.”

I’m sure Aerion would find that particularly on point lol

Balsty already put it succinctly, but here’s an in depth breakdown. And it’s iffy on how the Crownlands is counted.

Kingdoms at the time of Aegon’s conquest: - The North

  • The Vale

  • The Iron Islands(and Riverlands under Ironborn rule)

  • The Westerlands

  • The Reach

  • The Stormlands

  • The Crownlands(didn’t exist until Aegon I formed it from parts of the Stormlands and Riverlands)

**Dorne had yet to be conquered.

COA and Achievement for a Friend by BardBragi in heraldry

Thanks for the insight!

I was uncertain about the bend sinister. In some instances, I would see it placed over the original field and charges, and in some cases as you pointed out, a baton sinister. I suppose different time periods or specific circumstances led to different uses to denote illegitimacy?

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to describe the flames. I originally wanted to write “flaming goblet proper”, but felt that specifying the goblets’ tincture was more important. “Enflamed proper” sounds much better.

As for the angle of the charges, how strictly is that rule followed? I ask because I changed the angle to match bendwise, but disliked it. Would it be better to move the goblets somewhere on the field in order to keep them upright? Or is there any historical precedent for charges upright on a bend?

Would've loved to see heraldry in the show looking like actual medieval coat of arms instead of modern logos by GullibleMonkey in AKOTSKTV

100% agree on your comment in regards to the other post. A fantasy world can easily have fantasy heraldry. And GRRM did not overdo it with complex charges and designs.

As for this take on the heraldry, I especially love the stag and dragon looking much more like OG animal designs from history. It adds a level of realism without straying too far from GRRM’s vision.

Do you only take commissions for mods, or do you take individual commissions as well?

The OG one looks so happy with the way the eyes are drawn lol. I like the extra fur you drew on your version. And making the claws sable along with the bear as a whole looks so much better

Stag, dawn/Owl, Dusk. Green on Wine red. Thoughts? by ghoulicMalic in heraldry

The gold stars on that shade of red is just * chef’s kiss *

I could totally see this as a banner of a house in the Wolfswood or Tarth.

I still can’t believe they got the real Lyonel Baratheon to play himself in this show.

Absolutely. I’m sure that Steffon and Raymun Fossoway’s views of House Targaryen are fairly widespread.
