  1. Heraldic Authority.
    1. The Imperial Sovereign of Arms, in consultation with the Imperial Crown and the Imperial College of Arms, has the ultimate authority and duty of resolving conflict of armorial devices submitted by the membership of the Adrian Empire.
    2. The Imperial Sovereign of Arms has the right to remove from display any armory that has not been registered or any banner that exceeds the limits for its bearer only under the following conditions:
      1. A complaint must be made to the local Sovereign of Arms.
      2. The local Sovereign of Arms, in the due diligence of their office, shall perform a non-adversarial investigation and attempt to resolve the matter peaceably.
        1. If the matter cannot be peaceably resolved at the local level, the local Sovereign of Arms may request the owner of the armory in question to temporarily remove it from view pending a decision by the Imperial Sovereign of Arms
        2. No matter what the outcome at the local level, the matter shall be reported in writing by the local Sovereign of Arms to the Imperial Sovereign of Arms.
      3. If the matter was not peaceably resolved at the local level, a non-adversarial investigation shall then be performed by the Imperial Sovereign of Arms.
      4. The Imperial Sovereign of Arms shall make every good-faith attempt to peacefully resolve the situation.
      5. Failing that, only after consulting with the Imperial Crown and the Imperial College of Arms, shall the Imperial Sovereign of Arms make a final determination.
      6. The Imperial Sovereign of Arms has the right to use every legal recourse to enforce decisions, up to and including a Court as defined in the Codex Adjudacata.
    3. Local Sovereigns of Arms do not by themselves have the authority to permanently remove from display any armory. All such actions must follow the above procedure at the Imperial level.
    4. No member of the Imperial College of Arms nor any other Herald may take it upon themselves to proactively enforce armorial display.
    5. Appeals of any decision by the Imperial Sovereign of Arms may be made to the Imperial Crown.
