An heraldic achievement is an element depicted around an individual's device, such as heraldic helms, supporters, mantling and a motto. SCA heraldry has no display of rank on the device of the individual, with the exception of knights, whose device may contain a chain to symbolise their fealty. Such displays of rank may be shown in an achievement of arms, although the specific details may change depending on the Kingdom.
