Office of the Herald Office of the Scalene Pursuivant
and Baronial Scribe


Creating an authentic period name, developing a unique heraldic device (coat-of-arms) and checking for conflict with existing arms: these are all tasks that the Scalene Pursuivant, or herald of Dragonsspine, can help you with.  In addition, the Pursuivant keeps track of all awards given out in the Barony, acts as the voice of the Baron and Baroness during court, and coordinates field heraldry during Dragonsspine events.

The Baronial Scribe works under the Pursuivant to commission period scrolls for the awards that are given.  Unlike some artisans who merchant and sell their fine work, Baronial and Kingdom scribes devote their time and energy to creating works of art that are given away to award recipients.
