Nyrond Imperium The School of Heraldry at the College of Autgarius has officially announced a new Imperial Crest. The new crest involves the old Nehron color purpure, showing majesty and justice, offset with the sable ermine showing constancy. The sable ermine, instead of the more commonplace argent, is very rare, found only in the heartland of the Imperium.
