Here comes a first Iuzian heraldry compendium. I had planned to have it ready for VGHC6 but running three games was a bit more demanding than I thought, but here it is. It covers a selection of Iuz' top henchmen symbols and a few other shields.

Lets take a quick look at the individual shields and symbols.

Empire of Iuz

This is the banner of the Iuzian Empire, probably introduced by Iuz wen he returned to Dorakaa and launched his campaign on conquest and empire building.

Dorakaa - Land of Iuz

This is the shield of the original lands of Iuz, and in my campaign they still are and its the symbol of the imperial seat of power at Dorakaa.

Legion of Black Death

My take on the shield of the core military unit of Iuzian power, the Legion of Black Death. The empire shield but using a black background.

Boneheart

On the compendium I made this into a tattoo, which I think is probably a bit more common way to use it, but here is the shield.

Boneshadow

The design is mine, and it is just two mirrored Iuz skull symbols making up a demonic face, and variants of this makes up a lot of my Iuz related heraldry.

Sindol

A fancier version of the double skull design on a black background that I use for the cambion who commands Iuz armies, General Sindol.

Old Phalanx

I call Sindol's elite unit the "Old Phalanx" and gave them this heraldry, here it is in its dark non active variant. The shields are magical and can generate a lot nasty effects. below is how it can look when active in "intimidate mode".

and then "incinerate mode".

Iuz Holy Symbols

Comes in black and white versions.

Althea

My take on Althea's heraldry, the serpent and the eyes, using Iuz standard colors. I think Iuz doesn't allow for much creativity and deviation from what he is using, so his henchmen (for the most part) keep close to their master.

Halga

Halga is using a similar scheme but using a couple of the bones from the skulls instead of the eyes, the same colors but in a different order.

Hallorn

The centrally located settlement that I have Iuz turning into a regional center and maybe even a new capital. Simple back with the serpent is serving as an interim symbol.

Gensal Hordes

The Iuzian banner used by the Hobgoblins and other units operating from Gensal in the occupied Shield Lands.

Deepshuttle Delve

First the old shield from before the Iuzian take over.

and the new shield imposed by Dorakaa.

Gerregak

One of my additions to the Horned Lands, a city north east of Molag and the main settlement for the southern hobgoblin clans.

Urzun

This design comes from the cover of Adventure Begins, and I assigned it to the Urzun orcs from the Howling Hills.

Here are a shields of some of Iuz henchmen:

Kaquziel

"The Snake" has been given a double snake symbol on a bone white background.

Maskaleyene

The vampire Maskaleyene is a simple black shield with a ring symbol relating to his use of magic rings and a simple and recognizable design.

Null

Has the simples of symbols with just the jaw bone of the skull on a black background.

Ormuz

Uses a more flamboyant design, but still firmly in the Iuz tradition.

Kermin Mindbender

Again a simple design, but a little bit whimsical and not a standard Iuzian one.
