Summary

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 and the House of Carratéo, the two royal houses of Andora, and the heraldry of their capital cities, Descarai 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.

The eagle, facing sinister, holds a sword in its dexter talons and an olive branch in its sinister. Heraldric interpretation means that the nation, as personified by the eagle, prefers peace, as it is facing the olive branch. The sword, held dexter, signifies the nation is prepared and ready to use deadly force for defense, and that such use of force is honorable and just. The eagle facing away from the sword, meanwhile, is interpreted to mean that armed conflict in general is not a preferred course of action.

The orange crown above the eagle has a dual representation. One is the royal family and reigning Monarch, the other is the capital of the nation, the Special Administrative District of Salasca and the city of Eleçeron. The nine stars above this each represent one of the nine Administrative Districts: Avantana, Cartavedra, Castijara, Elvacedo, Julinazo, Marsalvano, Málama, Tomaras, and Vizedora.

Backing the Seal is the Honor of the Chivalric Order of Málama. This Order was created in 1567 by King Felipé I as a knightly brotherhood open to commoners, and is now the preferred Order of the Corric Crown to display their appreciation and acknowledgement of the support of the populace in keeping them as monarchs. Also behind the eagle is a cloud of silver and golden sun's rays.

Below is the heraldic description of the seal, known as a Full Achievement:
