Description and Meaning:
The escutcheon is quartered, depicting a red dragon on a gold field in the top left and bottom right corner. The top right corner depicts two crossed gold flags on a green field, while the bottom left corner shows a white globe with a grid, on a blue field. In the center of the shield there is the All Seeing Eye of Obscurium. A red dragon supports the shield on either side, while it rests on a green grass field compartment, which also contains a golden stick with a hand on top, a tablet and two dandelion flowers. Around the escutcheon the collar of the Order of the Sleeping Dragon has been placed. Below the shield, a scroll can be found, bearing the words: "Fac Et Spera" (Do and Hope). Lastly, a helmet sits on top of the shield, with blue and gold mantling on either side. On top of the helmet there is a blue and gold torse and on top of that sits a grey ushanka, bearing a golden star.

Additonally, the hand on a stick and the tablet are both devices, frequently used by Zar Antonov, while the dandelion is Obscurium's National Flower.
