| abstract | - The Imperial College of Arms or Imperial Herald Office is a royal corporation consisting of professional officers of arms, with jurisdiction over Diadochia. The heralds are all appointed by the Diadochian Sovereign and are delegated authority to act on his behalf in all matters of heraldry, the granting of new coats of arms, genealogical research and the recording of pedigrees. The College also registers and records new clan Karó, upon request from the clan chief. The College is self-financed, unsupported by any public funds. Founded by Imperial charter in 1280 by Emperor George III, the College is one of the oldest official heraldic authorities in the world. The College has had its home in Atlantis, and has been there since since its foundation. The Imperial College of Arms also undertakes and consults on the planning of many ceremonial occasions such as coronations, state funerals, the annual Panagia Service and the State Opening of Parliament. Heralds of the College accompany the sovereign on many of these occasions. The College comprises twenty-one officers or heralds: four Kings of Arms, ten Heralds of Arms and thirteen Pursuivants of Arms. There are also twelve officers extraordinary, who take part in ceremonial occasions but are not part of the College. The entire corporation is overseen by the Megas Domestikos, a hereditary office held by the Duke of Cappadochia currently Karolos Maleinos, 46th Duke of Cappadochia.
