== About the name ==
Historically, a roll of arms (or armorial) was a collection of painted pictures of the shields (escutcheons, also known as "coats of arms") representing visually the blazons (formal descriptions of the arms) of persons who had been given a grant of arms. This Roll of Arms has been created in that spirit, as a venue for displaying the armorial achievements of individuals and organizations that have either been granted or have assumed arms as a form of personal identification in keeping with the traditions of heraldry.
 
== What is GreiiN ==
The '''GreiiN''' (or '''Greii Number''') is the registration number of all entry of the Roll of Arms. The name is a tribute to [[GreiiN:69| Greii Equites]] who first used the system to sort the internal roll of arms of the [https://discord.gg/psav6AqD8N| Heraldry Community Roll of Arms Discord Server]
