Crests of the House of Ritterburg (1000 AC)
by John CalvinHere is my first pass at the shields for the House of Ritterburg
Blazonry
Prinz Jaggar von Drachenfels: Azure, a party per pale Argent, a dragon rampant counterchaged, with star Argen in quarter
Source - G:KoM
Frau Gertrud von Drachenfels:
Source - based on G:KoM. Gertrud's paternal coat of arms is a unique creation
Herr Sigmund von Drachenfels: Azure, a party per pale Argent, a dragon rampant counterchaged, with star Argen in quarter, a label Or in chief
Notes - the label Or in chief indicates the first born son, and also indicates that Sigmund is a magic user and thus able to inherit the principality
Source - based on G:KoM
Herr Rodrick von Drachenfels: Azure, a party per pale Argent, a dragon rampant counterchaged, with star Argen in quarter, a crescent Sable in chief.
Notes - The crescent denotes the second born, while making it sable means that Rodrick is a mundaner and can not inherit his father's title.

Frau Hildegarde [Ludenburg] von Drachenfels:
Notes - Frau Hildegarde would have combined her husband's shield with that of her own when she married. I wanted her paternal shield to be something suitably Hattian (thus the Gauntlet)
Source - based on G:KoM
Frau Helgar von Drachenfels:
Notes - since Frau Helgar is unmarried, her shield would have been unchanged
Source - based on G:KoM
Herr Franz Löwenroth (Baron of Adlerturm): Or, lion rampant flanked by tower Sable

Herr Rolf Graustein (Viscount of Blofeld): Azure party per cross Or, hawk's lure and bell Vert quartered
Notes - The hawk's lure and bell represent the traditions of the hunter
Source - unique creation
Lady Mariana Terlagand (Marchioness of Berrym): Gules, a chevron Or, pomegranate and fleur-de-lis argent in chief
Notes - I believe that Terlagand is from Laterre (Nouvelle Averoigne), hence the fleur-de-lis
Source - unique creation
