- While your persona almost certainly have or use arms (i.e.,_heraldic_arms_)
- back in the "old country", he now spends at least some of his time in
- <fill-in-your-Kingdom-name-here>, where there is a quaint custom/mania
- called heraldry, open to all to use or not as they please. I see no
- reason to _avoid_ using armorial bearings due to one's persona's place of
- origin, just as I see no reason to mandate their use by everyone regardless
- of their persona's place of origin.
-
- Just my two cents.
