[ANSTHRLD] Heraldic Heirs

[Darin Herndon]

Curiosity question.

Branches are required to have a laurel wreath on their arms.  Do any have laurel wreaths on badges?  Or can they not have the wreath on a badge?

Back on topic.

While there is nothing explicit I would think that (just as with releasing branch name, arms, badges) such a heraldic will for a group's items would need to be signed off on by the Crown of that kingdom.  Group armory cannot be transferred or released without the Crown's approval and sign off.  A heraldic will is just a transfer waiting to happen so I would think the same requirement applied.

Can a group create a heraldic will such that if the group ever goes defunct then it can will its armory to specified members of the populace or other groups?  Just curious.   I do know that by default if a group goes defunct that the name and armory reverts to the kingdom.

No.  the branch DEVICE must have a laurel wreath.  Badges are also armory and do not have that restriction.  But If they can have a heraldic will I see nothing stopping them leaving their device to another group (other than kingdom which would receive it by default).
