Does Talossa have any sort of standards for civic heraldry? As an example, the Vuodean flag features the arms of Vuode, which according to the description provided by S:reu Tafial, do not actually feature any sort of shield. I'm not aware of any other provinces (or subunits thereof) adopting arms, though; is anyone else?

Personally, I like a good rounded ("Iberian") shield for this sort of thing:

Wondering if this is something we could look into more if we're trying to spur activity at the provincial level. Thoughts?

This is a great idea, and I should have said so earlier.  There are no set standards.  I would suggest that, rather than just making up some standards, it might be more helpful for provincial activity if we made it a project (probably after the next election?) to assign a herald to each province for this purpose.  Maybe not every province will want to do this, but it'd be a great way to nudge folks into activity and do more armorial stuff.  Does that sound okay to you, or was there a different direction you wanted to take it?
