Function: To maintain the heraldric armorial, determine protocol, and otherwise administer official symbology.

The Royal Talossan College of Arms maintains the heraldic armorial of the Kingdom, as well as determines protocols of state and for peers and knights of the realm. The Royal Academy of Vexillology, an arm of the College, maintains the official flags and other seals of the Kingdom, while the business of the main body of the College is to receive and respond to requests for assistance in designing achievements of arms to be granted at the pleasure of the King. The College is exclusively empowered to petition the Crown for grants of arms, and is also responsible for preparing grants of knighthood and nobility at the direction of the Crown. The College is staffed by Heralds (senior members), Pursuivants (members who have achieved standing), and Fellows. Each member of the College holds and is known by a named seat or fellowship. It is led by the Squirrel King of Arms, the Rouge Lobster Herald Ma la Mha, Baron Tepistà, and administered by his appointed Dean, the Penzance Pursuivant, Sir Mick Preston.
