I'm working on building an elaborate fantasy world. Lots of people have suggested to me to include heraldry for my nations and noble houses but I'm not the greatest artist in the world.

I found a 1001 tools online for making fantasy maps.

Are there any inexpensive online tools for making good looking heraldry and coats of arms?

Rollforfantasy has one, I got to it with a quick google for a coat of arms generator.

It's pretty easy to use, from what I've done it's good for basics but just has the built in stuff. Plenty of permutations though.

Coincidently on a discord I follow, someone just posted a link to a heraldry colour guide within the last day

https://www.scotclans.com/tracing-your-scottish-ancestry/scottish-heraldry/rules-of-heraldry/

Combine that with some free-to-use vector icons...

... and you can get something that looks half decent.

Search up shield icons, grab another icon that looks like something you like, set their colours, download and overlap in paint or some other image program, and done.
