Prince_Arthur's_Book_ArmorialGreetings from Magistra Nicolaa de Bracton, co-steward for the Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium 2015!

I am pleased to invite you to attend KWHSS in the canton of Eoforwic (Toronto, ON, Canada) in the Kingdom of Ealdormere June 26-28, 2015.

The website and registration is now live! Please click here to visit the KWHSS 2015 Website.

To make it easier for our non-Canadian friends to attend and pay for the event, we have been approved to use ACCEPS for our event registrations.

We would also like to extend an invitation to all heralds and scribes to teach at the symposium. The class proposal form is now live on the website as well.

You may also send an email to kwhssclasses2015@gmail.com if you would like more info or to propose a class.

Over the years, there has been an excellent relationship between our two kingdoms, and we are very much hoping that many of our friends will make the trip to teach, share and learn. We are very much hoping to see many of you this coming June!

Scroll - Sagittarius for Ahtor Lys MacDavit by Ygraine of Kellswood - 2002

Wording, layout, calligraphy and gilding done.

Here, in the East, we are lucky to receive original works of art to commemorate our awards and honors, with the artwork, lettering and words created specifically for each recipient. (Please browse the Signet Gallery for some outstanding examples.)  This is not true in every kingdom. In some parts of the Known World, mass-produced documents are personalized to some degree, or recipients receive nothing from the Crown and commission their own documents, or in a number of areas individual scrolls are created but the text is the same for every recipient of a given award.

A lot of effort goes into the process that results in the presentations and proclamations you see in Court – Continue reading →

Message from the Tyger Clerk of the Signet

Greetings, everyone.

As mentioned in the recent copy of the Pikestaff, the Policies for the Tyger Clerk of the Signet and our webpage have recently undergone some changes.

The old website will soon begin redirecting to the new one. This page may still undergo some aesthetic tweaks here and there over the years, however, due credit goes to Isabel Chamberlain for switching us over from the old format (Joomla) to the new format in WordPress.

Updated policies may be found on the new website also. These policies are available in a downloadable PDF on the site, and all scribes are asked to please read these new policies over and adhere to them. Please feel free to direct any inquiries or suggestions about the new policies to the Tyger Clerk of the Signet; these policies are not “written in stone”, but a living document, which I expect will change according to our needs for a while to come.

Yours in Service,
Kayleigh

scribeFor those gentles who wish to have their registered Arms placed on their Award of Arms or other incomplete armigerous scroll, some of the scribes of the East Kingdom College of Scribes will be available to fill this information in at Mudthaw. Additionally, for any scrolls bearing weather-associated or other damage, we invite you to please bring these scrolls to our table for potential repair or replacement as needed.
Scrolls will be worked on on first come first serve basis, and we can make additional arrangements if we don’t get to your scroll during the day and it can travel home with a scribe and then be returned to you at a later date.
We will start the work at 11am and go till 4pm, please pick up your scrolls by that time.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you for your help and service,
Lada Monguligin
