Ever since the dawn of the Attian Empire, various symbols and flags have been used to represent individuals, families, or groups. Throughout the ages, simple colored cloths and small symbols sewn into the clothes of people have developed into extravagant symbols made by prestigious artists to represent great houses, families, kingdoms, and other allegiances. These heraldric symbols, or crests, are in modern times a popular and commonly used way to express one’s wealth and prestige within the Hadrian Empire. The more extravagant the symbol, the more prestigious its wearer’s house or company. There are a multitude of crests used throughout the empire and all use a very defined style. This article acts as a guide and overview of Hadrian heraldry.

A plain argent shield adorned with a crowned eagle charge, the eagle is holding two items. In its right claw it holds the baton of Brandenhafen, a reference to the provinces’ (economical) might. His left claw holds a relic adorned with gules and argent gems, serving as an allusion to the Globus Cruciger, also known as the orb charge, which is a symbol of power.
