A message from the Backlog Deputy of the Tyger Clerk of the Signet:
Greetings! I’m Æsa feilinn Jossursdottir (known by most as Feilinn), your Backlog Deputy. I have another batch of backlog scrolls ready for delivery to their recipients.
Scrolls will be available for pick-up at the Great Northeastern War on Saturday July 14th during the Scribal Office Hours. I will be in the Main Barn (left side) from 11am 1pm for scroll pick-ups and available to anyone who wants to learn more about the backlog process. During this time, scribes may also drop off completed backlogs and any scroll blanks they may have.
It is strongly suggested to email the Backlog Deputy (backlog.deputy@eastkingdom.org) to confirm that you will be picking up a scroll.
More pickups will be organized as the year goes on.
Local landed Barons/Baronesses and Seneschals are encouraged to pick up scrolls on behalf of members in their local groups if they know the recipient and the recipient cannot make these events. If you want to arrange pick up outside of these events, please email the Backlog Deputy to discuss. All official communication must be done via email, so please do not use social media messaging to discuss scrolls.
The following scrolls have been completed and are awaiting pick up. (more…)

EASTERN RESULTS FROM THE MAY 2018 LoAR
The Society College of Heralds runs on monthly cycles and letters. Each month, the College processes name and armory submissions from all of the Kingdoms. Final decisions on submissions are made at the monthly meetings of the Pelican Queen of Arms (names) and the Wreath King of Arms (armory). Pelican and Wreath then write up their decisions in a Letter of Acceptances and Return (LoAR). After review and proofreading, LoARs generally are released two months after the meeting where the decisions are made.
An “acceptance” indicates that the item(s) listed are now registered with the Society. A “return” indicates that the item is returned to the submitter for additional work. Most items are registered without comments. Sometimes, the LoAR will address specific issues about the name or armory or will praise the submitter/herald on putting together a very nice historically accurate item.
The following results are from the May 2018 Wreath and Pelican meetings.
