Arms I made up for Jane Roland (and later Emily’s) Ducal House. Roland’s titles are never mentioned in the books, but I have her created Duchess of Carmarthen. Carmarthen was a major center in Wales prior to industrialization. It is meant something of an insult from the government because the Welsh are icky, just like women and aviators. The Rolands, naturally, do not care one bit and rather take a liking to the place. Most estates they are awarded are in England, however. They do not currently have a seat because they have dragons to fly. Might get some subsidiary titles (maybe something named for Scotland near Loch Laggan) so that Emily can be a Countess.
The dragon is not a perfect longwings, but it is blue, and holding a grenade to symbolize the guns and bombs. Four yellow stripes on green for an Admiral of the Air. Golden Laurels for Victory. A ducal coronet above. Jane is extremely mad that the College of Arms said she couldn’t swear in her motto, and refuses to use Latin or French until someone suggests “Excidium.” The dragon himself is quite pleased with this, although wishes his portrait was better. But the poor College of Arms people are already so sad about his hastily put together arms that Jane just left it.

This is the exact appropriate reaction to Rankin. Fuck this guy, how dare he not die in the war.

I recently discovered Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. The basic concept is "how would the Napoleonic Wars have gone differently if there were dragons involved?", but what I really loved was just spending time with the characters. Here are two of my favorite secondary characters, Admiral Jane Roland and her daughter Emily.

Temeraire characters as D&D classes (part 1/?)
Because why not?
Laurence: This man is so Paladin coded it’s not even funny. He supports the party, everything comes back to his ideals and moral compass. He’s probably an oathbreaker who eventually finds a stronger purpose to swear himself to.
Granby: Ranger. Favored enemy reflavored as his hyperfixation on all things dragon.
Berkeley: Bard. Loud and lovable, makes friends easy. Is he blunt rather than eloquent? Yes, but you can’t help loving him and that’s the key.
Roland: Big sorcerer energy. Sorcerers use Charisma as their spell casting modifier to “project their will onto the world” and by god, she will.
Harcourt: I think she’s our fighter. Skilled, practical, good under duress, will pour hot coffee on you for being a dick. I also love a fighter with a soft side.
Under cut is a bonus concept sketch of paladin Laurence, the real reason I did this.

“I'll do my best,” he said.
A ghost of a smile crossed her face. “Laurence, your best is typically leagues beyond what I would expect from another man, so -”
“That might be the first time I've heard a superior officer say that, since joining the Corps.”
“Don't let it go to your head.”
“There's little chance of that.”
