January 2010
Happy New Year everyone! I have a few announcements for this new calendar year.
First, Their Majesties have allowed me to continue as Tyger Clerk for another year so please bear with me for a little longer.
Next, as I am sure many of you have already heard, the Crown Principality of Tir Mara (formerly Northern Shores) has the intent of becoming a full principality. This process is underway. At the time the Society Board of Directions is petitioned to grant them full principality status they will need principality officers equivalent to the kingdom officers, including a Signet officer. At this time I would like to ask anyone who is interested in the position of Signet Deputy for Tir Mara to contact me. My goal is to have someone ready to step up as Principality Signet when the time comes. For now, the duties of this position would include learning all the duties of the Tyger Clerk in anticipation of future principality duties, promoting the scribal arts in Tir Mara, and supporting the scribes in Tir Mara.
Lastly, I have a small policy change to announce. When signature space is required for heraldry (Award of Arms, Grant of Arms, Patent of Arms, Augmentation of Arms), and you choose to write titles for the people signing, please use the word "Herald" instead of "Brigantia". Brigantia has decided that the court herald may sign for the office, therefore the appropriate title is simply "Herald" from now on.
If you have any questions please let me know. And, as always, if you feel I am giving you too much work, or you would like more work, just let me know!
In Service,
Khioniya
Tyger Clerk of the Signet |
