The Crest of House Palpatine

Greeting All, As I am sure you have noticed… or at least hope you have… all members of the Secret Order have been moved into (as of current) a singular house, that being House Palpatine. With this comes the need for a symbol, a badge or other notifying mark to take pride in, and after much deliberation we have decided to follow an older human tradition for this through the usage of a House Crest, leading to the opening of the Herald Chambers to you. To try and cut down on the length of this transmission, the Dark Council is again asking for your help in the design and creation of the House Palpatine Crest. With these applications we are asking for you to pay close attention to how Heraldry and Crests were designed in the past, while making your own, utilising these sources. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/guide-to-heraldry https://www.fleurdelis.com/meanings.htm Along with these sources, we will be providing you with a basic Shield base, that you can utilise to aid your work. However do not let this limit your creativity; expansions, filigree, mottos or extra can be added at your own discretion, as well as symbology relating to the universe in which we exist. With your application, we will also be asking for a short written summary of why you have chosen specific elements on your crest design, and the way it relates to House Palpatine, helping to mould what it stands for. We look forward to receiving your entries, and seeing how you choose to approach this task. Each winning entrant may earn up to a Crescent with Diamond star, depending on how many entries we receive. An individual may submit multiple entries, but only one award may be earned. These Images do not have to be High fidelity works, sketches are welcome also, as these will be taken and refined into the final piece. Submit entries through email or by Discord in the #herald-inbox.
