Traditions: Difference between revisions

Arms from this tradition are commonly depicted on either half-round Iberian shields or on more ornate but still rather simple "Polish" baroque shapes. Common charges include various mixed geometric shapes (often inspired by pre-heraldic symbols of the region such as [[Wikipedia:Tamga| Tamgas]]), arrows and other weapons, celestial bodies. Common types of crests include ostrich and peacock feathers and wings, either plain or with additional charges. '''Repetition of charges from the shield in the crest''' is, too, fairly wide spread.

'''Due to a lack of regulation and precedent, it is not unclear how a proper achievement assumed by a citizen should look like.''' Indeed, mon-noble heraldry was non-existent in this tradition, resulting in a lack of a ranked helm system. The arms borne by an untitled nobleman would have had a shield and a crest upon a crowned iron helm with golden bars and a golden necklace
