The widespread use of armorial bearings in the Middle Ages gave rise to a new occupation of herald. These heralds had the responsibility of learning and maintaining the rules and protocols governing the design and description, or blazoning of arms.

Blazon allows you to become a herald, carefully selecting the right elements for your shield board, and earning distinctions through shrewd play.

Earn your rank through the accumulation of prestige as you blazon your shield to distinguish yourself among your peers and be crowned the King of Arms. 

Heraldry refers to the design, display, and study of armorial bearings, a shield used to identify a person or family. To blazon arms means to describe them in the language of heraldry, a practice that dates back to the age of antiquity.
