Westeros | Essos | Events | Military Orders

Contrary to Westerosi customs, the peoples of Essos do not practice heraldry in a traditional sense. Rather, they represent themselves, their families, and their cities through other mediums with similar effect, such as colored banners, emblems, and even the color schemes of their attires or places of residence. However, mercenary companies that primarily operate in Essos do practice what the Westerosi would consider to be heraldry. As such, with the exemption of mercenary companies, the arms here are attributions which take into account these non-heraldic forms of representation.
