Some have found the ancient and honourable language of our Heralds
too great a challenge to decipher.

For these, we offer HERALDRYWHO MODERN as an alternative to the
lovely HERALDRYWHO.

Terms that are not already in common use in modern Achaean will be
translated there, and the sentences rearranged to use a word order
most closely resembling modern Achaean.

I should probably point out that it is impossible to describe some
things perfectly this way, and so in a few cases a generalisation has
been used. For example, engrailed and invected are two types of lines
which are both described as curvy. A much more accurate
description would be painfully long and read something like this:
a curved line with points above and curves below, much like
the common pictorial representations for sea used on maps.

Be warned that such shortcuts have been taken several times in the
hope of sparing everyone a bit of wordiness.

For the rest, enjoy! May your abilities in reading ancient and
honourable Heraldic terms rise as you exercise your new-found ability
to see both!
