Heraldry Prompt

The Heraldry Generator is a compact re-roll tool that hands you one coat-of-arms prompt at a time. Each prompt is a short sentence built around a real heraldic vocabulary: the field, its colour and division; the central charge; the supporters; the crest above the helm; the household badge; the motto; the marriage quartering; the mark of cadency; the seal ring on the steward's desk; the banner at the tournament; and the family scandal the coat has quietly removed from view.

The generator runs on the same constraints a working herald would respect. Field and charge respect the rule of tincture. Supporters are a dialogue, not a chorus. A mark of cadency marks the heir presumptive during a long minority. A bordure signals an augmentation, a bastard line, or a contested trust, never mere decoration. The motto stays short, in a language the household actually speaks at table. The badge stays simple enough that the kitchen staff and the foresters can embroider it onto the livery in a single afternoon.

Roll once for a single prompt and draft the coat. Roll twice and read the two coats as one story of inheritance, marriage, or war. Roll a field-only prompt and design the central charge yourself. Roll a scandal-only prompt and decide what the family is hiding, and from whom. The prompts are written to combine cleanly, so a finished coat is normally built from two or three rolls stitched together by the herald's eye.

Every prompt is written specifically for this generator. Nothing is copied from published canon, real noble houses, or trademarked fictional settings. Use the rolls in novels, tabletop campaigns, video games, and published worlds, then sketch the coat of arms from the smallest visible detail the prompt contains.
