• 20:01, 29 December 2021 Karlw talk contribs created page Compartment (Created page with "The compartment is an object at the bottom of the arms upon which the other elements appear to rest. Only one compartment is allowed within an achievement (although you can "nest" achievements). You can specify them using, for example: <keyword>a compartment of a shelf vert</keyword> All compartments have a default colour but this can be overridden with any simple heraldic tincture.

For example: <keyword>(Shield) achievement a royal helmet</keyword> (The "achievement" is necessary to tell the program that the helmet is part of the achievement, without this it would be seen as a charge and placed on the field). If there is more than one helmet the rightmost helmet will automatically be reversed to face "outwards". Helmets all have default colours but you can specify a different co...")
