We are introduced to a number of family crests throughout the RotE books. Some seem fairly straight-forward, some seem a little more complex. What of them...their origins, the symbolisms and meanings? Are they just 'crests' or are they something more?

I have included 'sigils' here as I'm pretty sure Undecided that is the word Fool used to describe Fitz' crest that appears upon Chade's brow in TM. The term 'sigil' is usually used to describe a symbol with magical properties or a symbol created to serve a magical purpose.

Farseer - Buck

FitzChivarly - Charging Buck

Kettricken - Vixen

Khuprus family - Crowned Rooster

Lord Golden - Golden Cock Pheasant (used as part of the role he played but no doubt it holds huge significance of some sort...it is Fool we're talking about!) I have something to add...

Kennit - Raven

Paragon/Althea/Brashen - Serpent (though this was also used only during a rouse, it was still something that they 'chose' or was possibly chosen 'for them'...by fate etc)

Narcheska Elliania's Motherhouse - Narwhal

Will get to listing the Outislander clans but have to go! Arrgh!

Any others?
