    Arms for Duchy of Urnst

    I'm sure I've seen this before but had forgotten about it and thought others might have too. One of the interior illustrations for Ghost Tower of Inverness has a full coat of arms (heraldic achievement) for the Duchy of Urnst. Lot's of symbolism there open for interpretation. Looks like it was drawn by Jim Roslof. I would have figured bears for supporters but I guess that would have been overkill on the bears. Pretty cool though.

    Smillian,

    In the Living Greyhawk days, the Duchy of Urnst triad used the supporters as the main heraldic elements of two "noble houses" of Urnst.

    The stag was that of House Lorinar (Duke Karll's house) and the unicorn was House Grek. Grek was one of the founding houses of Urnst.
