	With the dismissal of the first Ellsworth King of Arms, Grand Duke Travis reassigned the creation of letters patent to [[Baron of Bastanchury\|Baron Kirby of Bastanchury]] as part of his responsibilities as the [[Minister of Commerce]]. This change allowed the Grand Duke to focus on finding a replacement who could work primarily on creating arms for [[Government of Westarctica\|Government agencies]] and members of the Peerage.

	The second King of Arms named was [[Baron of Abele\|Baron Daniel of Abele]], who currently serves in the role. Some of the earliest work done by Baron Daniel was to begin working with Peers and members of Government to establish uniquely Westarctican heraldic traditions. Additionally, preparations began for the creation of a Westarctican College of Arms, which would serve as the heraldic authority for the nation. This eventual establishment will oversee the creation and registration of arms. In addition, it will serve as an online repository that catalogs the growing heraldic culture and helps to chronicle the unique Westarctican traditions as they evolve.

	One of the first changes made to Westarctican heraldry was to change the color of the felt on crown devices for members of the peerage from red to blue. As the entire crown was taken from British heraldry, the change to blue differentiated it and created devices that were uniquely Westarctican. Shortly thereafter, Heraldic devices for two of [[Orders of Westarctica\|Westarctica's Orders]] were approved for use on personal arms. Members of the Order of the Orca would be eligible to add an encircling device around the escutcheon or lozenge of their arms, while members of the [[Noble Order of Westarctica]] would be permitted to add blue sashes to their supporters.
