Crests for the Great Houses
« on: 07 January 2020, 07:26:02 »
As part of a project I have been working on for a number of years I am doing my best to chart all of the noble families in BattleTech, As part of it I have the almost impossible task of seperating "Great House" from "Nation State" over on Sarna.

I know House Liao maintain a "House Crest" that is different from that of the Capellan Confederation.
I am pretty sure House Steiner replaced the "Lyre" of the Lyran Commonwealth with their house crest way back in the 2500s or so. (Going to check later)

Anybody know if the other three great houses maintain a seperate crest?

There is an eagle-less house Marik crest that I can’t find at the moment (Martian had posted it around here at some point a few years ago). IIRC it was in the original house Marik FASA book

Here are colorized versions of the original FWL crest and the original CC crest.
"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

Davion has a Crest that features a fox going as far back as at least Reynard Davion. I think it was shown in FM: FS and HB: HD.

Are you after the Marik crest, or the Free Worlds League emblem?
