Heraldry in the S.C.A.
There are two types of heraldry in the Society. There are field heralds who are charged to speak the King's word accross the land; and there are book heralds who aid the populace in the designing and submission of personal devices.
Devices are important the Society for many reasons. Not the least of which being the identification of individuals on the battle field or at other event functions.
Devices are meant to represent "You" to the world. If you are not registered then you are missing out on a large and important part of the game.
