Heraldry in general is free of restriction except that they must not look like anyone else's heraldic art or any of these. You are also asked to not use a crown, coronet, or any other symbol of royalty in your heraldry. More rules will be created as time and population expand. Some Kingdoms do have rules-clarifications that you must adhere to and please do not take offense when you run into it.

There are a multitude of links in the virtual world and I suggest you look at them all. Most of the publications from some groups represented are for sale if you do not have the time or computer space to save them offline.

Well that is all for now. I hope you have a successful turnout and have a good time with the game!!
