Folio from the Archivum — The Royal Arms of Dauda
Description: This illuminated arms is believed to represent the royal arms of Dauda before the fall. The griffin rampant suggests guardianship, majesty, and peril—though whether this is an authentic sigil or a later romantic facsimile remains uncertain.
Provenance: “Facsimile attributed to the Brumeveil Ledger, shelf B–7, leaf 112.”
Transcription: Banner reads “Duty Before All Things”.
Marginalia (transcribed):
– A: “Note the griffin’s head—styled more leonine (a post-Dauda convention) than avian (common in authentic Daudian relics). This suggests the artifact is a later historian’s re-creation.”
– B: “Coloration conjectural; no surviving evidence of tinctures remains.”

I’ve always liked griffins. They look so majestic and noble and at the same time, to think of one flying at me, they are terrifying. Cool post. Thank you for sharing.
