Coats of Arms in Dragon's Dogma
Gransysโ Coat of Arms
Blazon:ย Azure, saltire Argent, a sword in pale proper, point downwards and crowned with a crown proper, enwrapped with a dragon Gules, armed Argent
Description in normal language: Blue background, with a silver diagonal cross, and a crowned sword in the middle pointing downwards with both crown and sword in their normal colours, a red dragon with silver claws entwining the crowned sword.
Notes: There seems to be two commonly-used versions of the coat of arms in the game; one complex, one simple. The above is the description of the complex version of the coat of arms, which can be seen on the knightโs shield.
The colour blue denotes loyalty and truthย which is bullshit, Dragonsbane my assย while the silverย saltire indicates protection and sincerity.ย Basically the legend of Edmun Dragonsbane slaying the dragon is reproduced on this coat of arms. The dragon is shown in a defeated position, while the crowned sword implies that the duke had won his right to rule by combat - or in this case, by slaying the dragon.
Otherwise, dragons symbolise valiant defenders, usually of valuable treasure. The use of a sword implies that the bearer of arms is honourable and just in battle, while a crown indicates royal authority.
The simpler version of the coat of arms is as follows:
Blazon: Azure, saltire Argent, a sword in pale point downwards and crowned Gules, enwrapped with a dragon of the third
Description in normal language: Blue background, with a silver diagonal cross,ย and a red crowned sword in the middle pointing downwards, a red dragon entwining the sword
Notes: This simpler version of the arms appear on the uniforms of Gransysโ soldiers as well as the Gransys flag.
