There are two aspects to the College of Arms. One is to educate and inspire courtesy, forms of address, heralding, court etiquette. The other is heraldry within the Adrian Empire.

Heraldry draws upon the artistic creativity and pageantry of the empire. Flags, banners, personal devices and badges (collectively known as "arms") follow the ancient rules of heraldry to identify individuals and estates throughout the Empire. To ensure that no two individuals or estates are using the same emblazon, the College of Arms exists to register these designs, as a form of copyright.
