Herald cape

Herald capes can show allegiance to Falador, Lumbridge or Varrock at their respective herald. Doing tasks or quests related to the areas can unlock several upgrades for the capes, allowing a greater personalization range. By default the capes are all identical except the sigil in the middle, the sigil is an animal that's associated with the city/empire.

The city's sigils are as follows:
 * Falador - Lion's head, growling
 * Varrock - Bear
 * Lumbridge - Owl

Players can also add their chosen 'crest' to the top of their capes. In addition, the cape can be placed on a cape rack in a Player-owned house, however, the image in the cape rack appears upside-down.

Heralds' locations

 * Falador: The Herald can be found near the fountain south of the Party Room.
 * Lumbridge: The Herald can be found just in between the Lumbridge General store and Blacksmith.
 * Varrock: The Herald can be found next to the fountain north of Varrock's archery shop.

Designing your herald cape
The design of Herald cape can be customized at Herald by talking with him or using quick option "Customize" in NPC's menu. A dialog box where adjustments can be made will appear.

When all requirements (see above) are met, player can choose from up to 5 different cape bottom half trims and up to 5 top half crests. They are also free in choosing color combination - cape background, trim/crest color and background of city sigil can be defined. Color selection tool is designed to allow players select the color tone freely (no pre-defined set of colors). Once selected design can be modified any time by revisiting the herald. The heralds seem to remember the last design you made at them, even after you switched to another city cape and then returned back.

Trivia

 * The first four goals and rewards can be seen even before completion, whereas the fifth and final one remains a mystery until it is done.
 * It is possible to block out the area's animal (E.g Falador's lion), by putting the background colour and the herald colour to black or a dark colour, many players use this to only display the dragon herald.
 * Whatever colour you customize your cape with, it will always show up the default colour in your clothing tab.
