	Matthew Glozier's Heraldry Site
		Heraldry has been described as the 'short-hand of history' for the very good reason that until recently those who, by and large, 'made' history often belonged to, or soon joined, the armigerous nobility of the kingdom in which they served.
		Heraldry can be used by the historian as a tool for the study of such diverse issues as, for example, how past societies chose to visually display their beliefs regarding issues such as segregation between different social classes and the quality of the noble individual and his or her race', or lineage.
		When heraldry was a living science (as opposed to its current status as little more than an artistic novelty) it was a tool specifically designed for the regulation of the noble individual and the noble race or lineage.

	Camelot Village: Britain's Heritage and History
		Heraldry arose, almost spontaneously, throughout Europe in a short space of time between 1130-1160 coinciding with the development of more sophisticated armour.
		As heraldry flourished and became regulated it was necessary to have a language whereby a herald could accurately describe arms and that his descriptions should be comprehensible to other heralds.
		The nature of heraldry, then, is first a system of personal devices appertaining to an individual and continuing, with certain restrictions (as will be seen), for his descendants.

		Augmentations of arms in period were not exactly an 'award' per se (well, certainly not an 'Order', like the Order of the Golden Fleece or the Order of the Garter, where you joined a group.) They were additions to, or (in some cases) changes to arms that were granted by the Crown as an honor.
		An example of an augmentation that involved a complete change of arms in the mundane world (I'd have to look up the date, think it's 17th c.) was a case where a Colonel hid the King in a tree thus allowing them both to escape from defeat.
		One is that we have not previously allowed armory, even as an augmentation, to be an identical version of the armory of a group or office, whether or not a letter of permission to conflict existed.

	Compartment - TheBestLinks.com - Augmentation, Canada, Forest, Female, ...
		In heraldry, a compartment is a design placed under the shield, usually rocks, a grassy mount, or some sort of other landscape upon which the supporters are depicted as standing (a compartment without supporters is possible but practically unknown, with the exception of South Australia[1] (http://www.sa.gov.au/emblems/coatarm1.htm)).
		As an official part of the blazon it is a comparatively late feature of heraldry, often derived from the need to have different supporters for different families or entities, although sometimes the compartment is treated in the blazon separately from the supporters.
		In rare cases, a compartment might be granted as an augmentation.
