This article used to be maintained on a personal website, but is now maintained on the West Kingdom Heralds' website.
Note that the "alternate titles" for different realms (such as "Occidental Majesties" for the West) are from an article from the Heralds of the Midrealm, although there are some errors for Western titles that were corrected here. If there is no specific "alternate" title listed, then for the Crowns of a Kingdom: The King and Queen of <Kingdom Name>, or Their Majesties of <Kingdom Name> are standard forms of address. For a Principality then The Prince and Princess of <Principality Name> or Their Highnesses of <Principality Name> are standard.
This project was started by Duchess Emma FitzWilliam, OP, completed by Hirsch von Henford, OL, OP, with a lot of help by the various folk who actually donated images of the armory.
