The
puffin is a famously
Icelandic bird and on the
island where the armiger
resides is the biggest
breeding colony of
Atlantic puffins on Earth;
the dragon is a symbol of
East Iceland where some of
the armiger’s ancestors
were from; the broken
swords and other warrior
related symbols represent
the armiger’s name, Breki
meaning Breaker and
Einarsson the son of the
lone warrior. The
Ægishjálmur, The Helm of
Awe, is a magical
Icelandic stave which is
known to help warriors win
battles and saves them
from their enemies. The
colours were chosen to
portray status and
courage.
The motto,
ᚼᚬᛁᚦᚢᚱ᛫ᚼᚢᚴᚱᚬᚴᚴᛁ᛫ᚠᚱᚬᛚᛋᛁ, is
written in Runes; in
Icelandic it is Heiður,
Hugrekki, Frelsi which, in
English, is Honour,
Bravery, Freedom.

The Ægishjálmur,
The Helm
of Awe or Helm
of Terror, is an
object in Norse
mythology and
subsequently the
name of an
Icelandic
magical stave.
The symbol used
for the
reference in the
sagas came from
the Huld
manuscript
written and
collected in
1847.
