IN PROGRESS
The rules for heraldry in Whales were codified in 1696, following the adoption of a coat of arms of Whales. The proclaimed rules were based on the de facto use of heraldry in Whales since its foundations in 1592. They are largely derived from heraldry in Rossheim-Slavonia-Volksburg within the Kingdom of Sangun, Riskai and the Idunn Isles.
General rules
- A free person, a household, or any other legal person, is free to adopt an escutcheon for itself, provided it is unique.
- Within a household, or for one's descendants, differentiation of the main coat of arms is allowed.
- Rules of tincture apply (exceptions for coats of arms charged with mon)
- Coats of arms are inherited in accordance with primogeniture:
- Older siblings and their descendants have preference over younger siblings and their descendants
- Brothers and the descendants of brothers have preference over daughters and the descendants of daughters
Lordships
- The coat of arms of a lordship may be unique in its own, but it may also be the lord's own coat of arms
- Coat of arms of lords or lordships are topped by a burger's helmet (tilted, open helmet), mantling is allowed
