 Established Heraldry

The information here was collected from the Dragonlover's Guide, second edition, also referred to as the DLG. 

This is not intended as copyright infringement, merely as a collection of information for use by individuals. It was not created for, and may not be used for, profit. The graphics and descriptions are intended to prevent anyone from using the same or similar design as one that already exists. Since heraldry and colors are intend to distinguish one hold from another, it's rather pointless to create something exactly like what Benden has or what Fort has.

Note that in a few cases the DLG used incorrect terminology for what the picture showed. In those cases, I chose between the picture and the description and provided both what the DLG said and the correct description for the shield shown. You will probably note some discrepancies between what I create and what the DLG says/shows or what your mind imagines. These come out of my mind and my research of the subject. I can be wrong. Direct complaints to me by email.
