	Heraldry - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Heraldry is the science and art of designing, displaying, describing and recording coats of arms and badges, as well as the formal ceremonies and laws that regulate the use and inheritance of arms.
		The first rule of heraldry is the rule of tincture: metal (bright tinctures) must never be placed upon metal, nor colour (dark tinctures) upon colour, for the sake of contrast; except where this cannot be avoided, as in the case of a charge overlying a partition of the field.
		In English heraldry the crescent, mullet (a star with straight rays, which originally represented a spur), martlet, annulet, fleur-de-lis and rose may be added to a shield to distinguish cadet branches of a family from the senior line.

		The arms of The arms of the Free State in South Africa show "a chief dancetty, the peaks terminating in merlons," and so might be called a combination of dancetty and embattled (a similar situation can be seen in the arms of the Agricultural Gymnasium).
		The arms of Kutlwanong Dorp in South Africa provide an example both of the specification of the number of lobes in invected, and those lobes being trefly.
		The South African Bureau of Heraldry has developed the line of partition serpentine, which is rather like wavy, but with only one "wave";[32] the serpentine in the arms of the Mtubatuba Primary School is defined as "dexter to chief and sinister to base".

	Heraldry in South Africa by Frederick Brownell
		South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth to all intents and purposes also cut the traditional official links with the heralds in Britain and again left the country without direct access to any official heraldic authority, although in practice the advice of the heralds overseas had not been sought all that often.
		It should be mentioned in passing that some five years after the Bureau was set up, the Administrators relinquished their powers to record the Arms of civic authorities in the province, and the Bureau has since been the sole heraldic registering authority in South Africa.
		South Africa, with its diverse population, does not consider itself to be tied to any particular heraldic tradition and as such the Bureau has been able to draw on what is best from any source, while at the same time blending both traditions and indigenous elements into a distinctive South African heraldic style....

		The first thing the blazon describes is the tincture (colour) of the field (background) (though in some cases of "landscape heraldry" all or part of the field is some sort of landscape), and then it describes the placement and tinctures of the different charges (objects) on the shield.
		It is also possible that the voiding is of a different shape than the voided charge, as in the arms of Newton Technical High School in South Africa: "Quarterly gules and sable; a lozenge or voided of a quatrefoil; at its centre a cog wheel argent; the whole within a border or".
		For many more people, heraldry is seen as a part of their national, and even personal, heritage, as well as being a manifestation of civic and national pride.
