The Herald is a Captain's pet. There are three different types of standard Heralds as well as an Archer. The Herald's armour and appearance can be upgraded through the wearing of armaments. These are either made by Tailors and can be equipped in the class slot or bartered at the captains trainer as skills which only change the appearance.
