The following are current and/or former residents of the Principality of Oertha
in Order of Precedence. It is the intention of the web-author to include all
coats of arms of all the populace of Oertha. This includes persons residing
or ever having resided in Oertha, and persons having received awards
from the Coronets of Oertha.
I hope eventually have alternate versions of this page

and may not be of quality to reproduce on paper or for projects.
Please contact the owner of the armory for their best artwork.
