Heraldic authority receives new website

Official website banner

His Majesty’s Heraldic Authority had an official website recently created for the public – some inside sources say the website has been in construction since August 2020.

The website provides Ikonian citizens the ability to request for a coat of arms, search through the roll of arms, and read up on heraldic traditions, both from Ikonia and from the macronational world. It finally provides Ikonians a way to interact with the Authority, outside from messaging the King.

The official website is up and can be found here: https://hmha.ikonia.xyz/.
