Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
I've just realised that for all the flags I've done for you guys, I haven't shown you all of Ęscgeard's! There are quite a lot of them, so this is going to have to be in serial format - so stay tuned
National Flags & Ensigns:
National Flag & Civil Ensign
The national flag of Ęscgeard features the gold wyvern on red, a symbol of the ruling House of Ęsc, together with a red crusader cross awarded by the Pope for participation in the the Crusades. It can be flown pretty much anywhere by anyone, and is also the flag of the merchant marine.
State Flag & Ensign
The state flag is derived from the coat of arms, and features the symbols of the four constituent regions of Ęscgeard, a variation of the crusader cross, and the badge of the House of Ęsc. It is flown from government buildings, from royal palaces when the King is in residence, and from royal or government ships.
War Flag
St. Cerdic's Flag is also the war flag of Ęscgeard, and is restricted to use by the army (a gold saltire on red is also accepted as representing St. Cerdic, which can be flown by the general populace). The flag is also flown from government buildings when the country is in a state of war.
Naval Ensign
The naval ensign is restricted to use by King's Navy ships and buildings of the Admiralty.
Air Force Ensign & Roundel
The ensign is flown from Air Force establishments, and the roundel identifies Air Force planes.

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Also got the blazon for my coat of arms fully done:
The escutcheon is quartered by a cross pattée argent fimbrated or, gules three seaxes fesswise in pale proper; azure a cross flory or; quartered gules and azure four roundels argent in lozenge; paly or and gules; overall an escutcheon gules, in the chief two coronets or, in the base a wyvern or; surmounted by the Sigor Cynehelm. The escutcheon is surrounded first by the chain of the Order of Saint Michael and then by the chain of the Order of Saint Cerdic, together known as the Cynelic Hįda, flanked by the medallions of the Order of Wihthelm and Order of Saint Mary. The supporters are two angels, acting as heralds to St. Cerdic, carrying a standard with the arms of St. Cerdic, and wearing a tabard with the same arms, standing on puffs of cloud. Above is a pavilion armoyé with the Sigor Cynehelm. From it is a royal red mantle with a semis of crosses argent. The motto "FORŽRYNE TÓ WULDOR" ("Onward to Glory") is written in white on a red ribbon.

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Emnet Heįfodstól (Capital): Ašerton Wyllas Population: 551,000 Area (km²): 7,485 Emnet was originally an outpost of the Iutes, the majority of whom settled in Sębeorg, but the petty-kingdom quickly came under siege from Noršengria, and was finally absorbed into Middansętna. The flag shows the blue sky and green earth under the bright sun, indicative of Old Emnet, which was much larger than the current province. |

|
Province of Landracan Heįfodstól (Capital): Carabelin Population: 1,431,000 Area (km²): 10,844 Landracan has been a source of conflict for centuries. First the Cimbric Dęccans ousted the native Arthish tribes, later the Arthish Sicambri returned and destroyed Dęcca. The descendents of the Sicambri and Dęccans haven't really seen eye-to-eye since. The flag acknowledges this by displaying the red Sicambrian and white Dęccan dragons together. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Mathrafal Heįfodstól (Capital): Callevan Population: 2,744,000 Area (km²): 9,459 Mathrafal is a province with a strong Arthish flavour, retained as the Ęscings absorbed the area over the years, rather than conquered it outright. The flag is the historic Lion Banner of Mathrafal, which dates back to the 14th century. |
Mawr Gemotseld (Shire Seat): Callevan Population: 2,101,000 Area (km²): 4,561 Main Towns & Cities (Pop'n '000):

Gedach Gemotseld (Shire Seat): Blaenau Gedach Population: 643,000 Area (km²): 4,898 Main Towns & Cities (Pop'n '000):
|
Province of Meirchion Heįfodstól (Capital): Nathraichan Population: 645,000 Area (km²): 4,380 Originally part of the Sicambrian Federation, tribal differences eventually drove the Meirchii and Sicambri apart, forming a very handy buffer between the Sicambri and the Cimbric nations in the south. The black and white flag invokes St. Rihan, patron saint of the Meirchii, with the four orbs common to many of the East Arthish scķra. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Middansętna Heįfodstól (Capital): Silceaster Population: 4,563,000 Area (km²): 31,688 Middansętna long contested the dominance of southern Arthuria with Ęsccynn, and was the greater part of the kingdom when the two were joined in personal union in 1029. The flag features a blue field, common in Middaning heraldry, with a gold cross flory, later popularly associated with the kingly House of Esa. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Noršanweard Heįfodstól (Capital): Axmynster Population: 5,521,000 Area (km²): 40,073 The northernmost properly Cimbric region, Noršanweard's precursor petty-kingdom, Noršengria, spent much of its history fighting off Curths from the north, Arthins from the west, and Varings from the east, and in their spare time they repeatedly invaded southern neighbours Emnet. Eventually the southern kingdoms had enough, and Middansętna conquered the land in 905 to stop the Varings from taking it first. The red and gold stripes of the flag date back to the early Noršengrian battle flags. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Sębeorg Heįfodstól (Capital): Eanceaster Population: 5,130,000 Area (km²): 25,754 Being the closest part of Ęscgeard to Europe, Sębeorg has always been the focal point of invasion plans, right from the first Cimbrians in 440 to WWII. The flag is representative of the invasion-prone location, displaying three towers for the three main fortresses at Trahaearn, Kircary, and Gewis, on a red field, indicative of Sębeorg's long status as a sub-kingdom of Ęsccynn. |
Gewisscķr Gemotseld (Shire Seat): Gewis Population: 530,000 Area (km²): 2,887 Main Towns & Cities (Pop'n '000):

Province of Seaxwealdan Heįfodstól (Capital): Witanceaster Population: 1,347,000 Area (km²): 182 The Seaxwealdan came into being in 1351 when the capital of the newly united Kingdom of Ęscgeard was moved to Witanceaster. Even so, the Kingslands remained poorly defined until being constituted as a formal Province on the kingdom's 500th anniversary in 1851. The flag is quartered in the red and blue of Ęsccynn and Middansętna, the two petty-kingdoms that formed modern Ęscgeard, with three seaxes representing the city's three main eras - roman Troiianum, arthish Caertroia, and cimbric Mereburg/Witanceaster. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Sicambria Heįfodstól (Capital): Melodśn Population: 2,123,000 Area (km²): 15,327 The Sicambri were originally an Arthish tribe from western Arthuria. Swelled with refugees from other displaced Arthish tribes, the Sicambrian Confederation was a constant thorn in the side of the eastern cimbric kingdoms until their resistance gradually melted away during the 15th century. The provincial flag is that of St. Meurig, who did much to introduce christianity to the western coast of Arthuria. |

|
Province of Siluria Heįfodstól (Capital): Maiticca Population: 1,209,000 Area (km²): 18,951 The Siluri were the other main Arthish tribe in the west, although not nearly as warlike as the Sicambri. Nevertheless, they were an important part of the Sicambrian Confederation until, with defeat imminent, the Siluri pulled out and negotiated a separate peace. The flag features the traditional gold and black of the Siluri, with Cathamhrįn, the legendary sword of King Blegywrydan Falh-Ddu, in pride of place. |

Re: Miclian Aržura | Greater Arthuria
Province of Talierin Heįfodstól (Capital): Farindun Population: 1,246,000 Area (km²): 7,337 Talierin (Dįl Ķeran) grew out of the ancient Curthish petty-kingdoms of Erfid and Erin, but, isolated from the rest of the Curthish tribes on the southern side of the Talmogils, it was swiftly brought under the Noršengrian crown and has remained there since. The flag is a combination of celtic and nordic crosses, representing the curthish and varish heritage of most of the population, in the colours of its legendary king Įlpķn eru mac Ķeran. |

|
Province of Talorgan Heįfodstól (Capital): Drest Population: 1,159,000 Area (km²): 18,528 The southernmost of the Curthish lands, Dįl Orcan exploited its isolated position to keep out of many of the conflicts that crippled other Arthurian kingdoms, although they could not hold out an Ęscing army looking for a back way into the Sicambrian lands to the south. The flag features the ancient Curthish symbols of the Crescent and V-rod, depicted on the Stone of Muircholaith, over the white Cross of Orcan. |
Gart Gemotseld (Shire Seat): Drest Population: 867,000 Area (km²): 12,576 Main Towns & Cities (Pop'n '000):

Province of Westrķceu Heįfodstól (Capital): Anlafęrn Population: 2,187,000 Area (km²): 10,431 In the 9th century the Noršengrians came under attack from the Varings, a people from beyond the sea. The Varish army eventually established itself on the Noršengrian coast, forming the twin kingdoms of Ólįfrheim and Mjórvöllr. The two kingdoms merged in 985 to become the Vęstrrķjka, or West Kingdoms, the precursor to today's province. The flag of Westrķceu harks back to its Varish roots, with a nordic cross and raven, as used on the Varish war banners. |
