Unto New An Tir Heralds, from Esclarmonde Argent Scroll, An Tir Heraldic Education Deputy, Comes Greetings!

 

There is so much to learn about in the world of heraldry, from historical practice to SCA rules and customs, that it can be overwhelming for the beginner.  To help you along, I have created a short document that gives you the central things you need to know about being a herald in An Tir and highlights some people and websites that can help you. In other words, this packet is to be a starting point for new heralds so you don't feel quite so lost in the ocean of information available on the Internet.  

 

If you are interested in receiving this packet, please reply to this message with your request.  Unless you request otherwise, the document will be sent to you as a Word attachment.

 

The An Tir College of Heralds also has a few gracious people willing to serve as mentors to new heralds.  Please contact me if you would like a mentor.  

 

To non-new heralds who may be reading this:  this message will be repeated once a month to catch new people who may have signed on to the list.  Yes, we could put the packet on the website, but the very problem is that there is so MUCH on so many websites that the person who needs it may not find it.  This way I hope to make more of a personal contact with those who are new to support them directly.

 

In Service,
