Background in the municipal sources
Eda Municipality says Eda Skans was the only one of 18 proposed designs approved in 1948. The Peace Monument at Morokulien was proposed first but did not receive heraldic approval; some considered the fort a reminder of conflicts between Sweden and Norway. When the present municipality formed in 1971, the earlier arms were approved again.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
