Across all cultures your blazon is your family's identity, guard it with everything you have!

The Kingdom's **coat of arms** is the distinctive emblem displayed on the pause menu as a escutcheon and on the town center past the village tents tier as a banner. Its colors (*tinctures*) also appear on banners and shields around the Kingdom.

It's a cosmetic feature, with no impact on gameplay mechanics. Every new Monarch is randomly assigned a fresh coat of arms.

 *Kingdom: New Lands* &  *Two Crowns* – A player may set a custom coat of arms, use the blazon syntax, or one of the available generators.

 *Kingdom: Classic* – Coat of arms are randomly generated at the beginning of a new Kingdom and there is no way to customize it (see history note). This article may still be useful for players to check the types of escutcheon and color combinations a kingdom may have.

## Blazon

*Mobile users cannot edit the blazon, but in Two Crowns they can access the emblem generator.*
In heraldic terminology, a *blazon* is the formal description of a coat of arms. In the game's settings, the player can set a custom coat of arms for the Kingdom in the menu by entering the blazon’s parameters with the proper syntax in the text box and then confirming the entry using the "Set Blazon" button. That syntax is:

```
[1st Tincture], [Ordinary] [2nd Tincture], [Charge] [3rd Tincture]

```

***(Commas and brackets are included here for clarity and should be removed.)***

* *Ordinary*: the geometric patterns in the background.
* *Charge*: the animal or shape in the center.
* *Tincture*: the color or metal of the prior feature. 【  】**First tincture**: the primary color for the Kingdom, appearing on the King's cape, on the Queen's dress and on banners.
**Second tincture**: modifies the ordinary, appearing on banners and shields.
**Third tincture**: modifies the charge.

For example, `NAVY A SALTIRE WHITE A LION RED` produces a navy-colored coat of arms with a white saltire and a red lion *(see image)*. There is a multitude of possible combinations for a Kingdom's coat of arms.

 *Kingdom: New Lands* – Since version 1.2.3 and onwards, using `⌫ Backspace` when typing the blazon makes the "Options" submenu close back to main menu. Players can use the arrows and the `del` key if needed.

## Tinctures

The table below displays all available colors that can be used on the background, the ordinary and the charge of the coat of arms.

Due to a bug, charges cannot have a tincture with a name that starts with another tincture name. The colors falling into this are: Aquamarine, BlueViolet, Goldenrod, GreenYellow, LavenderBlush, Orange, OrangeRed, Orchid, and YellowGreen. They can, though, be perfectly used on the background and on the ordinaries.

 For a table with 120 tinctures, see this article on desktop version.

                   | A Jack Pattillo
                   | A Kiwo
                   | A Sips

## Generators

 *Kingdom Two Crowns* – There is an embedded coat of arms generator (or visual "blazon" editor) that can be accessed by clicking on the heraldic shield (step to the right on consoles) on the pause menu.

 *Kingdom: New Lands* – players may explore the instructions of this article and set a blazon themselves, or use one of the generators made by the community:

* a desktop version made by Tobe Continued
* an online version made by Cl00e9ment

## Achievement decorations

 *Kingdom: New Lands* – There are four common and one special achievement that grant unique decorations to the Kingdom's escutcheon on the pause menu—without changing any other flag or banner. These achievements with their rewarded decorations are listed bellow:

All decorations are removed if the player starts a new game from the map, except for the skulls and the crown — these can only be removed after deleting the save files and starting a brand new save game.

*Classic and Two Crowns* – The pause menu's escutcheon also has decorations that are based on the Monarch's success. They appear to persist across different Monarchs, but their connections to achievements are less visible.

## Heraldic terminology

**Escutcheon**: The shield itself.

**Field**: The background of the shield, usually composed of one or more tinctures (*see colours & metals below*)

**Charges**: Any emblem occupying the escutcheon, be it a geometric pattern (ordinaries) or a depiction of some beast. In French blazon, ordinaries are called *pièces* and other charges are *meubles*.

**Ordinaries**: Geometric patterns emblazoned upon the escutcheon.

**Helm**: The helm above the shield, facing dexter.

**Supporters**: Figures to the left and right of the shield, usually depicted as holding it up.

**Mantling**: Drapes above the helmet and to the sides of the shield.

**Colours**: *Gules* (red), *azure* (blue), *sable* (black), *vert* (green), and *purpure* (purple).

**Metals**: *Or* (gold) and *argent* (silver).

**Chief** and **Base**: Refer to the shield's up & down, respectively.

**Dexter** and **Sinister**: Refer to the shield's right & left, respectively.

A bend pointing dexter originates from dexter chief to sinister base. Ordinaries are assumed pointing dexter unless otherwise specified.
