Anyone have it or know a reference to it? Quick suspense on this if possible.

| I can't check the book at the moment, but for whatever reason [whether because I've looked it up myself before, or it's a tidbit I rediscovered by accident], I'm thinking FA1 Halls of the High King makes reference to the heraldry of Callidyrr. |

I found it thanks for Brian R. James :) Hooray for Realmslore guru older brothers! It’s a black banner emblazoned with a silver bear.
Ed also gave a few tid-bits. But it is unpublished. Thus, I can only tease you with it!

That is the heraldry of the city yes? The Kendrik heraldy is a wolfs head (as per HotHK)
I didn't realise that the city would have different heraldry from those who rule it?
Looks like a question for Ed

Gods, all this writing and he's running a constant fantasy version of Coronation Street in his head, too. .

| Not unusual at all: in RW heraldry, it is the default case that cities/countries have different coats of arms than their rulers. |

Ah, that's the reference I was thinking about.
My thanks, crazed.  |

| I forgot where I read it, but it was mentioned that there is a City Heraldry and a Family Heraldry. |

In Darkwalker on Moonshae, both the Lone Wolf (p.231) and the Great Bear (p.23) standard are associated with House Kendrick. This contradiction is given explanation in Prophet of Moonshae (pp.21,175).
The Lone Wolf is the symbol for House Kendrick, and the Great Bear is the royal symbol of the united Ffolk of the Moonshaes. As such, both banners would surely fly upon the towers of Caer Callidyrr. |

Thanks for the clarification Brian

Need a quick answer: Heraldry of Callidyrr
