Heraldry: Honours  

Borders are reserved as a mark of honour, and and can only be awarded by Rulers or the Raven King of Armes.  Second, and subsequent, honours are recognised by charges placed in the border.  The shield left represents 5 honours.  One for the border itself and one each for the 4 golden disks placed on it.  The  border or  charges can be in any colour or metal, although the normal rules about colour placement still apply.
