For the ruler's sex and skin colour, see: Monarch § Appearance.
ARGENT BENDY SINISTER GULES A BEAR SABLEThe Kingdom's coat of arms[1] is the distinctive emblem displayed on the pause menu as a escutcheon and on the town center past the village tents tier as a banner. Its colors (tinctures) also appear on banners and shields around the Kingdom.
It's a cosmetic feature, with no impact on gameplay mechanics.
Every new Monarch is randomly assigned a fresh coat of arms.

Games differences[edit | edit source]
Kingdom: New Lands & 
Two Crowns – For a custom coat of arms, players may use the blazon syntax or one of the available generators.
Kingdom: Classic – Coat of arms are randomly generated at the beginning of a new Kingdom and there is no way to customize it (see history note). This article may still be useful for players to check the types of escutcheon and color combinations a kingdom may have.
Blazon[edit | edit source]
This section is about New Lands & Two Crowns.
Editing the blazon is not possible on mobile.
In heraldic terminology, blazon is the formal description of a coat of arms. In the game's settings, the player can set a custom coat of arms for the Kingdom by typing the blazon with the proper syntax in the text box and selecting "Set Blazon". That syntax is: [2]
[1st Tincture], [Ordinary] [2nd Tincture], [Charge] [3rd Tincture]
(Commas and brackets are included here for clarity and should be removed.)
- Ordinary: the geometric patterns in the background.
- Charge: the animal or shape in the center.
- Tincture: the color or metal of the prior feature.
For example, NAVY A SALTIRE WHITE A LION RED produces a navy-colored coat of arms with a white saltire and a red lion (see image). There is a multitude of possible combinations for a Kingdom's coat of arms.
Tinctures[edit | edit source]
The table below displays all available colors that can be used on the background, the ordinary and the charge of the coat of arms.
Due to a bug, charges cannot have a tincture with a name that starts with another tincture name. For example, the game reads both "orange" and "orchid" as "or", as shown in their images. The colors falling into this are: Aquamarine, BlueViolet, Goldenrod, GreenYellow, LavenderBlush, Orange, OrangeRed, Orchid, and YellowGreen. They can, though, be perfectly used on the background and on the ordinaries.

Ordinaries[edit | edit source]
The articles (i.e. a/an) are required whenever specified below (some ordinaries and all charges). A blazon must have exactly one ordinary, so if the player wants a solid background, he or she can choose any ordinary and make it the same colour as the background.

Charges[edit | edit source]
Note: In Two Crowns in the Shogun campaign, coat of arms have no charges. However if using the blazon input field, they have to be defined for the whole blazon to work properly.
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| An Armadillo | A Bear | A Dragon | An Eagle | A Fish | A Hydra | A Lion |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |

The following charges[3] cannot appear in a new game blazon, nor they show up in the visual editor. They can only be set through the blazon terminology:
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| A Crumps | An Eye | A Gronkh | A Jack Pattillo | A Kiwo | A Sips | An Xisuma |
Kingdom Two Crowns only:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| A Bald Eagle | A Greed | A Ram | A Sheep | A Tortoise |
Generators[edit | edit source]
This section is about New Lands & Two Crowns.
Blazon editor (Two Crowns - console)
Kingdom Two Crowns has an embed coat of arms generator (or blazon editor) that can be accessed by clicking on the heraldic shield (step to the right on consoles) on the pause menu. For New Lands, players may explore the instructions of this article and set a blazon themselves, or use one of the generators made by the community.

Achievement decorations[edit | edit source]
Kingdom: New Lands – There are four common and one special achievement that grant unique decorations to the Kingdom's escutcheon on the pause menu—without changing any other flag or banner. These achievements with their rewarded decorations are listed bellow:
| Achievement | Requirements | Decoration's description | prvw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birth of a Reign | Escape any island. | Carved leaves on both sides of the escutcheon. | 
|
| Interior Decoration | Escape 3 islands in a row without losing/restarting. | A pair of deer antlers. | 
|
| Heraldic Achievement | Escape any 5 islands in a row without losing/restarting.[4] | A pair of lit candles on metal candle holders. | 
|
| Crowned | Escape the 5th island. | A golden Crown on the top of the escutcheon. | 
|
| Skull Island | Destroy all portals in the Skull Island. | Four skulls at the bottom of the escutcheon. | 
|
All decorations are removed if the player starts a new game from the map, except for the skulls and the crown — these can only be removed after deleting the save files and starting a brand new save game.
 |
 |
 |
| An escutcheon with no extra decoration, | one with antlers, leaves and candles, | and another with skulls and a crown. |
Classic and Two Crowns – The pause menu's escutcheon also has decorations that are based on the Monarch's success. They appear to persist across different Monarchs, but their connections to achievements are less visible.
