Crux Staff

Crux Australis Principal Herald is assisted by their heraldic deputies, each of whom has responsibility for a different aspect of heraldry in the Kingdom. A full description of the role of each deputy can be found here.

Group Heralds

Below is a list of the heraldic officers for each branch. Please contact your local branch Herald if you have a question of a heraldic nature, and they should be able either to help you or to refer you to somebody who can.

Heralds who currently hold an office (the so called “in-ordinary” heralds) take a title that depends on their position. Baronial heralds and heralds on Crux’s staff may style themselves as “X Herald” for the duration of their office, where X is the appropriate heraldic title. The heraldic officers of other groups are styled as “Branch-name Pursuivant“.

Roster of Active Heralds

Below is the roster of active heralds in the Kingdom of Lochac. Active, in this sense, means they have completed the last Herald Census or have subsequently completed the Roster Details Form. The last Census was held in May AS54 (May 2019). Names that are links will take you to the person’s Canon Lore entry. Explanation of rank and skills found after the roster.

If you wish to be added to the roster, please complete the Roster Details Form. Please see Lochac Heraldic Policy for the requirements to be a rostered herald. If you believe you are worthy of the rank of Pursuivant, please consider completing the Pursuivant Readiness Portfolio.

[The roster is currently intentionally left blank. Normal service will resume shortly.]

Rank

There are four levels of personal heraldic rank in Lochac: Macer, Pursuivant, Herald and Herald Extraordinary.

Macer is the rank given to in-training members of the College of Heralds. A Macer has a demonstrated interest in SCA heraldry, and
some level of activity within the College. The rank of Pursuivant is given to those who have shown basic knowledge and competence in multiple aspects of heraldry, while the rank of Herald is given to those of greater expertise. If you believe you are worthy of the rank of Pursuivant, please consider completing the Pursuivant Readiness Portfolio. Promotion to the rank of Herald and movement between the various ranks is at the discretion of the Crux Australis Principal Herald.

Those who have been of great assistance for sustained duration to the college of Heralds may be given the status of ‘Herald Extraordinary‘ by the Crown and be given a personal heraldic title – their choice of a registerable heraldic name.

Heralds who currently hold an office (the so called “in-ordinary” heralds) take a title that depends on their position. Baronial heralds and heralds on Crux’s staff may style themselves as “X Herald” for the duration of their office, where X is the appropriate heraldic title. Group heralds for other groups (Shires, Cantons and Colleges) should describe themselves as “Group-name Pursuivant” for the duration of their warrant.

Skills

The skills columns in the general roster indicates self-identified experience in the various areas of heralding: voice (general announcements, can shout a bit); court (knows about ceremonies, has spoken for the Crown before); silent (can perform some level of sign language interpreting at events); field (has announced bouts at tournaments); names (consults on registering names with the College of Arms); and armoury (consults on designing and registering devices and badges). Levels of experience may vary, but it’s a place to start for help.
