Don't know how many people here play Neverwinter Nights modules, but there is a great (and very popular) module called "Darkness over Daggerford", and the coat of arms featured within is a dagger against water. It looked nice. |

Ahahah!
So it probably looks similar to Tyr symbol minus the Hammer and scales |

Actually, Daggerford is named because a lad used a dagger to defend/ward off a raiding band of lizardmen at one of the fords.
Don't recall a coat of arms for Daggerford though. |

Perhaps a question for Ed, however in RW coat of arms was sybol based of faily history (or claims of powers) as to what repersented them.
Sword, Sun, Water, Air, deity and so on. The name daggerfards likely is a description of a ford with sharp rocks in it as a landscape feature. It could also of course mean a ford protected by daggers. If the community itself has a coat of arms it might reflect the nature of a ford that provides protection, a Duke however taking adventage of such a ford would not likely claim daggers reperset their noble line. A dagger is the tool of an assassin, the sword a weapon of a noble. |

I do not believe one has been established. As far as it goes in coat of arms are that of a family in general not a realm itself. The ruler coats of arms used to repersent a nation as long as that power maintained control.
There are some references to free towns having a posible coat of arms for watch and guard. |
