Could you explain better what exactly do you mean?

Also bumping with my own question. Could someone explain to me why black eagles in germanic nations crests (HRE, Prussia, Austria etc.) look so, well, evil? I mean, just look at those spooky heads and jagged black wings, this looks like some hellspawn demonbird, not a symbol of virtues the nation could look up to. Who the fuck drew that and tought "Yeah, I want this nightmarish abomination to be a personal symbol of my family and lands"?

That's purely your opinion anon. They don't look evil to me. They were meant to project authority and impress, so they weren't gonna slap a big, pink chicken on the crest so they wouldn't scare anons hundreds of years in the future.

Because Germans (Saxons) are just murderous devil spawns. ;)

This thread had so much potential.

you can only use a handful of colors like Green, Blue, Red, Silver, Gold, and Black. silver and gold are called metals, and the rest are called tinctures. you typically cannot place metals on top of metals, or tinctures on top of tinctures, although this rule is sometimes broken for special cases, like the holy kingdom of jerusalem has a gold cross on a silver field. additionally there are patterns, called furs which can also be used.
