Design a coat of arms, follow the herald's rule and fly it everywhere.

Every noble house needs a coat of arms nobody else has. Design it and fly it from every tower.

What you’ll build

Sketch three shield designs, pick a winner that follows the herald's golden colour rule, and make it on a loom layer by layer. Put it on a shield, fly it from every tower and add your motto, then design arms for a rival house.

Finish line: Your coat of arms follows the herald's rule and flies on banners, a shield and towers, with your motto beneath.

Bonus challenge: Hide a small copy of your arms somewhere secret in the castle. Give a family member 3 clues. How many clues did they need?

You’ll need

  • Banners
  • Dyes
  • A loom
  • A shield
  • Banner patterns
  • Coloured pencils

You choose

  • My noble house's name
  • My symbol and what it means
  • My house motto

Stuck?

  • Pattern you want isn't there? Some symbols need a banner pattern item in the loom's extra slot.
  • Banner won't go on the shield? Put both in a crafting grid. A shield can only hold one banner design.
  • Plan your layers in order on paper. Later layers cover earlier ones, so add your symbol last.
