OT but why has Manhattan been smashed up into smithereens?
Dropping water levels forced Long Island to drift west a little ways, smashing up the western end of the island as well as Manhattan. Now, it's referred to as the "Weatherby Archipelago," after the noble house that rules there.
First bit of heraldry! Again, this was (poorly) made in MS Paint, so don't hate on me too much please!
Quoth the appendix:
"House Rosencrantz is the ruling house of the Kingdom of Thalmasa. All of the lords in the kingdom are sworn to them. Their origins lie at the very end of the Great Winter, as they were the first people in the region to begin to rebuild. Gilbert Rosencrantz, the founder of the House, was responsible for the construction of Rosencrantz Keep, the earliest fortress known to have been built. This advantage served House Rosencrantz well in their early days and allowed them to build a large power base in the region, which continues to the present day. House Rosencrantz lends its name to many natural landmarks in the region, such as the river that Rosencrantz Keep lies on the banks of. In more recent times, they have added the Houses Stone and Tybolt as their vassals through conquest. Their dominance in the region caused the Holy Triarch Patriarchate to acknowledge them as the “Defender of the Faith.” Their crest is a crowned castle face, with a large letter R in the center of the gate. Their motto is
Standing Strong."
I need to make a little alteration to the crown there, as there's a little error with the triarch symbol, but otherwise this is one of the best pieces of heraldry I've made. Hope you like!
