The Princely Imperial & Archducal Arms of Arthur of Kil-Kennar

ok so as we've seen, our boy arthur (like his siblings) has quite a few devices [ x ], [ x ], [ x ], [ x ] at his disposal (and id be happy to mock up more/other/variant designs for other characters as well!), and here's one of them: the winged sun! (note, i didn't use the pretty colors so these're just the default purpure/gules etc -- the actual colors will appear more as they do in the varmont & sons + one (1) daughter family post)

anyway, i was thinking abt it and arthur (and his male realtives too frankly!) probs has different insignias for his ~princely household~ vs his ~shining legions of the dawn/warriors~ so you can tell at a glance if that dude's there to, like, grab you smth to eat when you want it or whatever, or there as a deadly weapon to guard/kill/etc. which effecitvely means that arthur, himself, ~also has two separate devices, bc arthur himself is also both prince and knight.

so! imma level w you, idk which one (eagle or winged sun) is for which side of things, but!! now that we know his mama's device as well as his maternal house's sigil, in addition to roderick's, and since i figured out that some of his earliest memories would've been formed in fantasy!egypt, i've alighted upon arthur's ~other device, and that's the winged sun, nodding to his various motifs...

so i developed multiple variants for it, but here's probs his absolute, official, princely-knight/combined shield which brings together eagle and winged sun:

Or (yellow/gold): generosity and elevation of the mind

Gules (red): warrior or martyr; military strength and magnanimity

Pupure (purple): royal majesty, sovereignty, and justice

Eagle:  nobility, strength, bravery, and alertness; magnanimity; or one who is high-spirited, ingenious, quick-witted, and judicious; a person of action and vigor especially where important and high matters are concerned; high intellect and quick comprehension; salvation, redemption, and resurrection

Eagle, displayed (wings spread): the above + protection/one who is a protector

Wing(s)/vol: protection; swiftness; peace, flight, freedom, enlightenment

Winged sun: divinity, royalty, power; the eternal soul without physical form and life beyond, such as heaven and reincarnation; good words, good thoughts, good deeds; royal dignity; glory of the sky and sovereignty over it, paradise with it; the ability to endure and even command the intense power of the sun; the triumph of light over darkness; righteousness; healing; protection; might; journey of the soul and journey of day; daylight, hope, illumination

Rose: hope & joy, denotes distinction, 7th son

Rose, red: above + Grace/beauty, martyrdom

Sun: glory & splendor, fountain of life, intelligence/enlightenment

Crown: heaven; victory, sovereignty, empire; success

Crown, mural (a crown composed of bricks): defender of a fortress, token of civic honour; one who first mounted the breach in the walls of a fortress; power

so you know me, i did a bunch of variations, too, which you can check out below the cut if you so desire! <3

ok so here's the first iteration, just ur winged sun. here i also nodded to marian's argent from ~her crest w the white wings

Argent (white/silver): peace and sincerity

same thing but in gold:

ok so this one's slightly elaborated bc up top in ~this crest its no longer the eagle catching the rose in its beak, its the phoenix, on the backdrop of the sun and wearing a mural crown bc our boy is rose and phoenix and sun alike

same as above but the phoenix is purple now:

we're back to eagles all around! both eagles get mural crowns

crest!eagle goes sans crown...gotta have a ~little humility every now and then ;D

silver wings!

white wings!

here's the actual winged sun insignia, separated from the eagle device!

pre!mural crown edition

winged rose-en-soleil bc he loves his mama...and also bc asp their households surely have to coordinate and such!

same but now w phoenix crest! roderick is not one to be forgotten ;D

for those v stressful moments when roderick's household, marian's household, AND arthur's household alll have to coordinate...cue servants screaming internally no doubt

white wings of the winged rose-en-soleil w phoenix in crest

gonna level w you...im sure this one ~is different from the one one that's two back but...idr how so...yeah

winged sun appears only in crest, the rest is just mom and dad w arthur's mural crown so this was probs primarily in use before he'd hit his majority but was still duking it out on the battlefield
