The work of the College
The Westarctican College of Arms brings together the creation and recording of armorial achievements under the supervision of the Ellsworth King of Arms. Its work includes new designs for Westarctica’s peers and government institutions, and the registration of existing arms.
The College follows Westarctican heraldic rules. This website presents the grants, confirmations, and office badge listed in the national gallery from its “Grants in 2025” section onward.
History
The College was formally launched on 25 January 2020 after a year of development. It enabled peers and knights to obtain custom arms and register arms they already held.
Following a brief closure during the absence of the Baron of Abele, the College reopened in June 2025. The Count of Krigsvold was appointed Ellsworth King of Arms on 9 June of that year.
The Royal Household
The Ellsworth King of Arms originally held a seat on the Royal Council as head of the College. In March 2023, the office became part of the Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis.
