Main Room

[Hvairn's Showldh Stal]
A polished bell hung from a spring on the door tinkles merrily each time someone enters the room. Redolent of pungent oak and acrid metal polish, the rough timber floorboards and walls are bare of superfluous ornament save for the wares on sale. Shields of every hue and color, shape and design fill the glass case and the wide shelf, their sumptuous elegance counterfeiting glamour where in fact there is none. You also see Hvairn.

Heraldry Room

[Hvairn's Heraldry room]
Pervading every nook and cranny is the prevalent stink of paint thinners and the acrid smell of burnt metal. A counter divides the room neatly into two, behind which stands a desk whose surface is edged in miniature compartments, each holding items of the trade -- ink pots, brushes, and stylus. Lyewend, who oversees the ordered chaos, stands framed by myriad small square drawers, each wooden front dotted with a small copper knob. You also see a curtained archway.

4 Pick a tincture for your charge from those listed on page 5. To do this, just CHOOSE COLOR (NUMBER)
5 You can have up to nine charges in your crest (for example, "three coins" or "seven foxes". Just CHOOSE AMOUNT (1 to 9)
6 Pick a tincture for the field or background of your crest from the list on page 5. Then CHOOSE FIELD (NUMBER)
If you're pleased with the design at this point, just GIVE LYEWEND and you will be given a claim ticket for your shield.

Page 1: Beast Choices

Here are the beasts I can depict on your shield. If you pick one of these, you may also choose a stance, listed on page 2. 1 bear 17 goose 33 phoenix 2 boar 18 gryphon 34 rabbit 3 boobrie 19 hare 35 ram 4 bull 20 hawk 36 raven 5 cat 21 horse 37 rooster 6 cockatrice 22 inkhorne 38 stag 7 cougar 23 lamb 39 stork 8 crow 24 leopard 40 swallow 9 dog 25 lion 41 swan 10 dove 26 mammoth 42 tortoise 11 dragon 27 mastiff 43 unicorn 12 duck 28 onager 44 weasel 13 eagle 29 owl 45 winged horse 14 falcon 30 ox 46 wolf 15 fox 31 panther 47 wren 16 goat 32 peacock

Page 2: STANCES

The charge you select for your shield may be blazoned in one of the following stances: 1 Affronte: the beast looks squarely out of the shield. 2 Combatant: two rampant beasts facing each other. 3 Couchant: crouching, with the head up. 4 Courant: running like a greyhound. 5 Dormant: lying down in a sleeping position. 6 Passant: walking, with head forward and a forepaw raised. 7 Rampant: rearing on one hind leg, with three paws raised. 8 Sajant: seated on its haunches. 9 Salient: leaping in the air. 10 Statant: standing on all legs. Obviously, charges like birds that lack paws cannot be shown as passant or rampant.
