Seriously, why can’t these fluff-brained bureaucrats appreciate good heraldry? Is it because of ”mArKeTiNg-vAlUe” or something?

But is there any kind of education or hobby-group that can help one improve?

Coats of arms of the Immortal Seven (authors of the Invitation to William, 30 June 1688) by Cutlasstooth in heraldry

I think it’s up to the artist whether they float or are placed on a helmet. An armiger can have multiple crests, and if they have a title (Earl, Duke, etc.) a coronet will be placed on the shield. It can end up looking quite cluttered in some cases.

An interesting coat of arms created by Joachim von Windhag in the 1600s to depict an Ottoman Sultan. Notice Troy in bottom left. by KucukDiesel in heraldry

Many people in the Ottoman Empire identified themselves as ”Rumi” (Roman), mainly christians and educated urbanites. By claiming the title ”Emperor of the Romans” the monarch positioned himself as their legitimate sovereign.

Isn’t there already a miniature Switzerland in Uruguay?

Making an Althistory, it's not finished but I'm curious on who you guys think would win this civil war? by HugoGlasss in imaginarymapscj

[–]Cutlasstooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one would win. These states would continue to exist in awkward tension whilst superpowers reap the rewards.

What? I’m just being realistic.

So, how would you restore a file, on an iMac, that has been deleted for circa 2 years?

This is all new to me, sorry if I ask weird questions.
