ravn - Raven, as in the bird, I think it would be cool to incorperate some aspect of Odin`s patronage on ourself, raven of destiny translates to skjebnenes ravn anyways I have no understanding of norse language and cultural naming besides paternal and maternal name sakes. That being said, Einar is blessed by Odin, a raven helped him in combat, and he is a child of destiny, I think reflecting that in a name would reflect Einar`s ambition. And as for the house words, I am fine with stealing from a westerosi house. I lack creativity.
I feel a sense of Schadenfreude coming over me... am I a bad person?
Okay I can see the Ravens and the Wall but why the Bear? Also it feels a little too busy.

Bears are strong, also the symbol of the Berserker, the Warrior of Odin.
Also, complete sidebar, the Latin, for the House words (we have monks, they know latin) should be Sicut Homines, Omnes Muros Cadere
What about instead of a bear we have Odin's spear Gungnir piercing out of the broken wall? Or is that a too much on the nose

Honestly I just want to learn latin so we can best deface their churches in ways they'll be likely to understand. Like with our House Words. A Warning and a Threat!

What does that name mean?
Metatron
Celestial Scribe Enoch
In Old Norse it means Godslayer.
However in Modern Icelandic it translates literally to "Angry Banana".
So Intimidating now, Side Splitting in 1000 or so years
I would say this, but in Norse/Norwegian/whatever language we speak, and my idea for a coat of arms.
It would be good as they will work when our descendent inevitably turn to Christianity, they can use the Latin version and just claim that Odin's spear is actually the lance of longinus.
Something seems off about the part that I've highlighted, but I'm not sure if something is missing or if there's something extra here.
While Godslayer sounds pretty cool I feel like it is also rather blasphemous to claim such a title
Metatron
Celestial Scribe Enoch
Not really, in many sagas the hero's goal was to kill a divine entity. And often they succeeded.
[X]Plan Broken Wall
-[X]Veggbrotsjór (As close as I could get to Wallbreaker in Icelandic.)
-[X] A wall, broken by Odin's spear falling from above, a raven sitting on either side of the hole.
-[X] "Like Men, All Walls Fall."
Basically Plan House of the Wallbreaker but with a different coat of arms.

I like this-
but I like this too.
Why do these decisions always have to be the hardest.
[X] Plan Simple Wall

-[X] A stylized wall broken by a spear coming from above.
-[X] "Like Men, All Walls Fall."
We need a coat of arms that can be distinguished from across the battlefield. There's a reason that most European countries have really simple flag designs.
