Kapresh heraldry is the form of coats of arms and other heraldic bearings and insignia used in Kapreburg. In general it lies within the Gallo-British tradition, however incorporates elements of Scottish heraldry, and others. Coats of arms in Kapreburg are regulated and granted to individuals by the Lord Ignisia King of Arms, a title used by the King of Kapreburg. Many Kapresh citizens bear arms, and grants are given by the College of Arms.

Rolls of Arms

The College of Arms of Kapreburg has attempted to gather a comprehensive roll of arms in the past, but never finished. Currently a roll of arms is maintained in the Kapreburg discord server.

Cadency

Kapreburg generally follows the English cadency system, but as heraldry in Kapreburg is so new that there have not been any future generations to share cadency, cadency has not had to have been used as of yet.

Women do not display the "war-like" crest. Daughters have no special brisures, and customarily bear their father's arms on a lozenge while they are unmarried. The wife of an armigerous man may bear her husband's arms alone on a shield or banner differenced by a small lozenge.

If she bears arms in her own right, while she is married, a woman may marshal (combine) her or her father's arms with her husband's on a single shield, normally by impalement.

Upon becoming a widow, a woman may bear her late husband's arms alone on a lozenge, oval or similar vehicle of display, differenced by a lozenge and if she bears arms in her own right, returns to bearing her father's arms upon a lozenge, though now impaled with her late husband's arms. Her husband's arms are borne on the dexter side and her father's arms on the sinister side.
