the_logos will become famous soon enough
Achaea's pleased to introduce a reasonably historically accurate system of heraldry today. Although a help file can be viewed , a brief explanation of the system follows.

Once a player has purchased a Heraldry license, he or she may register coats of arms for people or organizations, who are known as Armigers. The Herald will work with you to create an appropriate design, using Divisions, Lines, Ordinaries, Tinctures, and Charges, and one ends up with a coat of arms described in accurate historical tradition as:

"Purpure, a bend wavy Vert between three moons crescent in bend Tenne."

Translated (there'll be a way to automatically translate them soon) that is, "Three orange-coloured crescent moons set on a wavy diagonal blue bar on an undivided purple field."

Just another addition to an already incredibly deep and developed world. Come check us out!
