-Yes, what do you want old man ?
The man bowed before you and answered in a somewhat tired tone, he seemed to be very busy.
-I am Uni Maginative my lord. I am a civil servant serving in the Imperial College of Heraldry. I have to register all the heraldry of the imperial nobility in our archives and their titles. I heard that you were a very removed relative of Lord Random of Local and I saw that you didn't have his banner on your tabard. I suppose your branch of the family have their own emblems. I must draw your crest on the armorial to register your feudal homage.
It was true, at the duel you had your old tabard with your old emblem of the family. Of course you were a third son so you had a cadency on the emblem of your father but it was the old arms of the house de Villeroi that you carried. It was not the emblems of lord Random who had a Griffin on a Muddy field as the sigil of his house that you carried now. To be honest you thought that the emblem of Lord Random violated the rules of heraldry but maybe they were different in India than in your lands. But before deciding you asked.
-Your organisation is some kind of legists if I understood well. And you register the coats of arms of all the nobility ?
He corrected you kindly.
-Only of the feudal landowners, the Emperor, it's Vassal Kings, their Dukes and Marquesses, the Counts, the Barons and the Lords. The simple knights and second sons are not registered by us.
It was probably to make you pay taxes or for the Emperor to know how much he has vassals and who was related to whom. And you deduced that it was useful to recognise to whom belong some troops during military campaigns were every man at arms is equipped with the tabard of his liege lord. You asked then.
-I can have my family's crest, or take back the crest of Lord Random.
He nodded with enthusiasm.
-Exactly my lord. May you describe me what will be your banner ?
You decided to answer by choosing.
>I will take my family's crest (Describe the crest)>The Griffin on a muddy field of Lord Random will mark me as his heir. >We will do an "écartelé" between the two (Describe your crest)>We will do a party with the two crests on each side (Describe your crest)>Other (write in)
