The heraldry skill gives you a general knowledge of imagery used on royal
crests, banners, flags, shields and tabards.

You can use your knowledge to add crests to woodcrafted shields. Only
woodcrafted shields can have heraldic imagery added to them. Paint will
not adhere well to scales, shell or bone. You can also add heraldry to
crafted liquid containers such as cups and mugs.

Adding a device to a shield does not alter its properties. It does add to
the name of the shield, making it stand out when worn or when using advanced
item management.

The heraldry list command can be used to show lists of all heraldic devices,
heraldic beasts, heraldic plants or heraldic symbols. You can also lookup
heraldic devices by keyword, for example 'list heraldry skull' will list all
heraldic devices with the keyword 'skull'.

If you know heraldry and jewelrysmithing, you can add heraldic images to
forged rings and head pieces such as crowns and tiaras.

If you know heraldry and gemcutter, you can cut gems into the shapes of
heraldic images.

If you belong to a clan, you can add your clan's crest to items.

If you worship a god, you can add your god's holy symbol to items.

The art of heraldry is known mostly in lands where a feudal system dominates.
If you wish to learn it, seek out the aides and advisors of the gentry.
