His Majesty's Heraldic Authority, is the Ikonian royal organization consisting of new and professional officers of arms, with responsibility for regulating heraldry in that country, issuing new grants of arms, and serving as the judge of the Heraldic Court, the only heraldic court in Ikonia. They follow the Codicem Heraldica Ikonius.

The post was founded on 6 October 2020 after a massive influx of Heraldry in Ikonia, crediting his studies for the creation of the authority. They published the Codicem Heraldica Ikonius on 7 November 2020, a document to outline majority of the heraldic laws in the Kingdom.[1]

It has registered over 13 arms over the course of its lifespan. According to Abrams I, the official Ikonian website will host the Heraldic Authority's pages and the roll of arms in the future.
