Khemetian heraldry
Khemetian heraldry refers to the coats of arms, heraldic bearings and ceremonial insignia used within the kingdom of Khemetu. The unique Khemetian heraldic style is exemplified in the arms of the Khemetian royal family, Khemetian nobility, cities, universities, and other institutions.
The overall governing body that oversees the issuing of amorial bearings within the kingdom of Khemetu is the Royal Heraldic College.
Characteristics
The Khemetian heraldic tradition originated with use of ancient standards and emblems known as serekhs bearing the totems of ancient Khemetian deities or animals associated with particular deities as a kind of precursor. Although the notion of heraldry in Khemetu as it is known in modern terms only emerged after the end of Latin rule in the 8th century AD.
During the early period of the medieval kingdom of Khemetu the heraldic tradition of the country was heavily influnced by Lihnidosi Tyreseian, and Latin heraldic practices, an influence that had been firmly established following the 1400s, after the Kingdom's independence was revived folowing a brief occupation by Ihemod.
