The Royal Coat of Arms is the official coat of arms of Great Nortend and the heraldic device used by the King of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria. It is blazoned:

Shield: Gules a Lion rampant regardant Or armed and langued azure within a bordure charged with oak-leaves and acorns Or. Supporters: dexter, a lion Or armed and langued azure royally crowned proper; sinister a lion Or regardant armed and langued azure royally crowned proper.

Crest: upon the Royal helm the royal crown Proper.

Motto: Magnus Dominus mecum sit.

The coat of arms is also the official coat of arms of His Majesty's Government, and is used frequently by the Foreign Office, the Exchequer, the Treasury and the Clerk's Department. A simplified form removing the mantling, helm and crowns for the lions is sometimes used for Parliamentary purposes.

The civil emblem is the shield or escutcheon of the Royal Arms, minus the oak-leaf bordure, encircled with an ovular blue circlet and crowned, and can be seen to the left. The motto on the circlet is 'Quoniam filii sactorum sumus', taken from the Book of Tobias, meaning, 'For we are the sons of angels'. This civil emblem is used by various government departments, boards and ministries as a more informal emblem than the official Royal Coat of Arms, the use of which is granted specially by royal warrant.
