--- OverviewThis mod completely remakes all of the eight hundred and twenty-ish default sigils, used primarily by custom houses of the Faith of the Seven and Old Gods religion. - They now use the most recently-added fabric effect, the same currently used for all the canon Westerosi houses.
- The designs remain mostly (but not completely) the same, as does their placement in the roster, but they should now be a bit sharper and cleaner.
- Where appropriate, designs have also been re-sized and re-positioned so they should now all fit neatly within the dynasty shield.
- The number of designs that utilise all three colour slots has been greatly expanded.
Now included, updated sigils for the kingdom and empire-tier titles of the Seven Kingdoms and Free Cities! Their designs remain as close to the originals as possible, with a few minor tweaks to make them look a little more appealing. Affected titles include: Westeros- All of the Seven Kingdoms, including their empire-tier independent kingdom counterparts. This does NOT include the Riverlands, which already has a default sigil with the new fabric effect applied.
- The Iron Throne, as well as the Crownlands (and the duchy/county of King's Landing, which uses the same sigil as the latter).
- The Night's Watch and the Kingsguard.
Essos- All of the Free Cities, including Essaria, as well as the Empires of New Valyria and Braavos.
- The Kingdom of Andalos (which now has a unique sigil, instead of the old placeholder one) as well as the Kingdom of the Rhoynar and the Stepstones.
- Religious head titles (R'hllor Priesthood etc.) of all the major religions of Westeros and the Free Cities (excluding Faith of the Seven).
- Principalities of Pentos and Lorath, duke-tier feudal rulers that hold a single castle barony within the capital county of their respective Free Cities.
--- CompatibilityShould be compatible with most other sub-mods, so long as they do not edit any of the four pattern.tga files. Integrating it into any other sub-mod is also relatively straightforward. Simply copy the files from this into the same directory ( gfx\coats_of_arms) of the third party sub-mod in question and that should do the trick. If this directory does not exist, you will have to create one. You can also simply override the pattern.tga files in your installation of the main AGOT mod, but it's recommended you make a back-up of the originals! This sub-mod is fully savegame compatible and can be used without starting a new campaign! --- Possible future updatesSome things that may (or may not) be added to this mod in future include: - New default sigil designs for other cultures, such as Free Folk and YiTish.
- Updated designs for the 'base' flags of king and emperor-tier titles in both Westeros and Essos (working on this already).
- Optional add-on that modifies the sigils of canon houses to better fit their TV show depictions.
--- I'm open to any suggestions for improvement. Hope you all enjoy!

I've hoping for somebody to update the default CoAs for years. Thank you!

Just a quick update: - All the default sigils of kingdom-tier titles in Westeros (south of the Wall) have been remade with the new fabric effect. This does NOT include titular or minor kingdoms, such as the Sisters or Dragonstone. But don't worry, I plan to get around to them eventually! I've tried to keep the designs as close to their originals as possible, with a few tweaks here and there to make them look a little prettier.
- The Seven Kingdoms of the Iron Throne/Westeros has also had its default sigil updated. The heraldic royal crown used in the new design is the one depicted in the show, but I've also added a separate folder to the zip that includes a set of alternate designs (for the Iron Throne and Crownlands/King's Landing titles). These are much closer to the originals, just in case the ones in the main mod aren't to your tastes.
- The Night's Watch and Kingsguard sigils have had the new fabric effect added to them.
- I've uploaded a preview image, that displays all these changes, HERE.
Next, I plan to work on the sigils of the Free Cities. I've already made a new sigil for the Empire of New Valyria, which you can find as part of the AGOT New Religion Icons mod I made a while ago, but I will add it to this mod when I finish the Free Cities sigils. Hope you all enjoy!

The Free Cities update is here! Changes include: - Updated default sigils for all of the Free Cities (including Essaria). A link to a preview image, showcasing all of these new sigils, has been added to the OP (you can also see it HERE if you're lazy).
- Added the updated default sigil for the Empire of New Valyria made for (and included in) the AGOT New Religion Icons mod.
- Updated default sigils for the feudal Princes of Pentos and Lorath.
- Updated default sigils for the religious head titles of all the major religions (excluding Faith of the Seven) of Westeros and the Free Cities.
Aside from minor tweaks and such, this'll probably be the last update for a while. I really want to make some sigils for the Free Folk but such a thing would require creating an entirely new coat of arms GFX, something I've never done before. As such I'm not 100% confident I can do it, so I'm making no promises! In the meantime, I hope these are to everyone's liking.

I've always wanted to change the ugly targaryen and blackfyre sigils from the mod to the tv show one! Is available yet?
Btw Sorry to bother but is it compatible with more bloodlines too?

Yes, it should work fine with More Bloodlines. Funnily enough, I have actually made a mod that gives the Targaryens, Blackfyres and the non-canon cadet houses (Fyreblood, Truedrake etc.) the sigil from the show. I've been using it for years, but for whatever reason I'd never thought of releasing it for other people to download. If you want, I'd be happy to upload it

The mod has been updated: - Created a unique default sigil for the Kingdom of Andalos. Prior to this, it used the 'crowned skull' placeholder sigil. The new design features a gold crown atop a gold seven-pointed star on a navy-blue background. I am, of course, fully open to ideas if anyone thinks they have a better/more lore-friendly design. Hopefully this one is at least better than the original!
- Updated the default sigil for the Kingdom of the Rhoynar, used new assets but overall design unaltered.
- Updated the default sigil for the Kingdom of the Stepstones, used new assets but overall design unaltered.
- Corrected the sigil of the Free City of Essaria. Due to a minor oversight, the equine symbol was just slightly off-centre.
Hope you all enjoy
