How to Help the Heralds

We Need to Avoid Making Their Jobs More Difficult.

If you are a scribe, I highly recommend that you do this simple thing to help the heralds and signets. Print out your wording in an easy to read font. I use 18 point so that it can be read easily. And, at the top, list what the award is for and who is it for. Think of large courts, such as at Pennisc, War Practice, or Ice Dragon. If the signet needs to find one scroll out of 50, how long do you think it will take if there is nothing on the back of the scroll? However, if each scroll was marked in the same way, the signet can quickly search through and find the one scroll out of dozens that is needed. The scrolls can also be sorted quickly, if the Crown wishes to award all of the Keystones at once; then the Sycamores, etc. Also, if Their Majesties want to bring one person up out of sequence, the herald will be able to quickly find the corresponding scroll.

It takes a couple of extra seconds, and I am going to do this on all of the scrolls I do wording for.
