== Heraldic Overview ==
Heraldry is the time honoured practice of fashioning a unique visual identifier for an individual or an organisation. This identifier is known as the '''heraldric arms'''. Over the ages a complex language has developed around the practice of heraldry to describe the colours, styles and shapes associated with the artistry of the heraldric arms.


Learning UK english
Those who design heraldric arms are known as '''Heralds'''. Heralds are commissioned, and such a commission may be purchased from the Herald's Commission office in [[Delos]]. '''The Achaean Heraldry Association''' is a loose trade group that sets pricing guidance for the creation and emblazoning of heraldric arms, though membership in this association is not required to be an Herald.

Alright. Slowly fleshing out. Still needs to be alphabetized, broken down into chunks, and correctly formatted, and spell checked. This is just a portion of the heraldry overview. The inclusion of a heraldry overview was given approval by Clementius, but still want approval on this portion specifically due to its attempt to remain objective.


Heraldic Overview

Heraldry is the time honoured practice of fashioning a unique visual identifier for an individual or an organisation. This identifier is known as the heraldric arms. Over the ages a complex language has developed around the practice of heraldry to describe the colours, styles and shapes associated with the artistry of the heraldric arms.

Those who design heraldric arms are known as Heralds. Heralds are commissioned, and such a commission may be purchased from the Herald's Commission office in Delos. The Achaean Heraldry Association is a loose trade group that sets pricing guidance for the creation and emblazoning of heraldric arms, though membership in this association is not required to be an Herald.
