Guided by the words "Ardor and Affection," House Valentione is second only to the High Houses of Ishgard themselves. The distinctive cordiform escutcheon of its heraldry was named after Countess Arabelle's death, inspired by the heart-shaped shield that defended the passionate warrior in countless battles. As Valentione's Day became more widespread, people far and wide came to know the emblem as a symbol of good fortune. Near two hundred years ago, after repeated petitions from the Culinarians' Guild, the design was officially approved by House Valentione for use in paraphernalia related to the holiday—its iconic chocolate not least among them.
