I love the first Urik joke flag.  I seriously L oh L'd.

Tsalaxa I emagined as eyes similar to the eye of Ra, with no face.  Just the eyes, but still awesome work here.

I wonder if Vordon poetry is the 3rd worst poetry in Athas.

Btw what's with the same border designs on all of the heraldry?

P.S. Are the majority of those heraldry of noble/merchant Houses? I'm only familiar with Stel and M'ke.

Years ago we never could find an appropriate heraldry lion symbol for Urik; Grummore's choice is too-closely related to real heraldries, what with a medieval crown and halberd present.

...but now with the power of Google (ha!), here is what he could use:

We should also get Penn to decide on the eyes of Tsalaxa (since he's such a wiz with the eyes...). Something clearly more Aztec/Mayan would be nice... even Incan would be sweet.

A point about the lions: are there lions on athas? I always assumed that lions were extinct, and that the memories of lions would have to originate from Hamanu's creativity. Thus, it doesn't seem absurd that the haraldry would contain other items from Hamanu's past like golden crowns and halbards.

I thought the cartoon lion was a joke...

The cartoon lion was a joke.

For the eyes, here's the only one I could find. The rest sucked, no matter what word combinations I searched for:
