Consulting Heraldry

by | Apr 19, 2024 | Gatebook 2024

Come to Heralds’ Point to get help with your SCA name and armory!

We will work with you to choose a name that fits your persona’s culture, geographical location, and time period. Or if you have something in mind we can try and help find documentation for you. You can submit that name for registration, which will ensure that it is uniquely yours and cannot be used by another. If you wish to register armory, (device or badge) you need to submit a name for the armory to be associated with.

Heraldic devices or badges represent you visually. They serve as your own logo or trademark and can be used on your shield, your armor, your clothing, your tent, your belongings and more. Our heralds and artists are ready to help you create your own unique personal design and submit it for registration, thereby reserving it for your use.

Armory submissions can be drawn and colored by our art staff. You should expect to return the following day to approve and pick up your submission or pay for it to be submitted if not completed at your initial consultation.

  • Caid charges $8 for each action, (name or armory) but if you submit a name and armory together the cost is $15 for both. We only accept CASH, CHECK or MONEY ORDER.
  • For Kingdom of Atenveldt and the West, we can accept payment at Potrero and send everything for processing to your home Kingdom. Some kingdoms do not accept submissions from Potrero; for those kingdoms, we will prepare the paperwork for you to pick up, then you will need to mail it to your Kingdom Submissions Herald along with the proper fees.

IMPORTANT – If you need help with branch submissions, branch awards, multiple submissions, complicated submissions, or culturally specific submissions, please come to Heralds’ Point as early as you can to make an appointment. This gives us time to be sure there is a Senior Herald with specific experience to assist you. You can also contact me at eridana@cox.net for more information or to schedule a time for more complex submissions.
