Create Your Own 'Game of Thrones' Coat of Arms With HBO Tool

HBO is drumming up more online buzz for Game of Thrones season three with a tool that lets you build your own family arms — sigil, house name and motto included.

Available in two dozen languages, JoinTheRealm.com helps you create a coat of arms, or the tool can generate one for you. After all, you can't be a Lord in Westeros battling for the Iron Throne without a sigil for your bannermen to proudly wear.

To feed your GOT addiction further, you can join Mashable's Game of Thrones meme contest in which winners will receive show-themed prize packs. Or you can download the free "A World of Ice and Fire" Android and iOS app, which will help you keep track of characters, places and timelines from the George R. R. Martin books that inspired the HBO series.

Here's the family arms I created, just in time for the show's March 31 premiere:

... and this is the one HBO created for me using words from my Twitter bio:

"Work hard. Play hard. Wink hard." @bahjournalist here are your #GameOfThrones family arms twitpic.com/ceveml #JoinTheRealm @mashable
