Grant of Arms

Achievement: Black or steel-grey helmet, torse and mantling. Helm may be garnished with gold.

How to draw it: The helmet should either be facing the viewer, or in profile. The standard great helm is most useful for most designs. The mantling should go over the top of the helm, since its original purpose was to shade the helm from the sun.

Alternatives: A gold crown of four or five ray-like points, ending in round tips, with mantling or ribbons.

Optional: A crest, if the client has a badge suitable for the purpose (see restrictions on crests). If the recipient earned an armigerous Kingdom Order before receiving the Grant, the shield may be encircled by a blue ribbon with the medallion of the Order dependent from it.
