Royal seal and coat of arms of the monarch of Casilló y Réal. Known as the Personal Seal and Heraldry of the House of Naranza-Carratéo. The central device is a combination of the heraldry of the House of Naranza, the House of Carratéo, the two royal houses of Andora, and the heraldry of their capital cities, Descarei and Porta Tranquíla. The motto of the nation, 'Unto You, Reciprocity,' is emblazoned below. The personal motto of Naranza-Carratéo, 'Fiat Lux,' is further below. This motto can be translated several different ways. The one put forwards by the House itself is 'I make light.' The golden eagle is the national animal of the nation, and also appears on the Naranza coat of arms. It is facing to the right, mirroring that of the family arms. This is known as 'sinister,' as opposed to facing left, known as 'dexter.' Sinister arms were considered less honorable than dexter, and were often assumed by lesser members of the family to set them apart, or were changed via an official herald to denote the bearer has committed some affront. In this case, the Naranza arms were changed from a single dexter golden eagle to two sinister eagles by King Felipé I of Casilló, a second son and conqueror of Réal. ▼
