Unto the heralds and populace of Lochac does Gwyn Cantor send greetings,
and the May CAMEL!

I have the pleasure of assisting as Acting Crux Australis Principal
Herald for the next several months.

Meanwhile, there is a great deal of activity and news in heraldry in
Lochac.

Congratulations to THL Gwen verch David, Court Herald of King Aonghus

Their Majesties King Aonghus and Queen Ginevra did also create the Order
of the Azure Tear, the Order of the Azure Sword, the Order of the Azure
Lily, the Order of the Hand and Needle, and the Camera Obscura. Thank
you and well done to the consulting heralds Gabrielle Hamilton, Amelot
de Akeney and Isabella de Bordeaux for their work on submission of these
award names and badges for registration.

Congratulations to Gabriel Ziegler on passing the milestone of 50
successful registrations as consulting herald!

At last count, we have 55 heralds who have answered the Heraldic Census
