IntroductionOsric of FayrehopeWhat This Handbook IsThis handbook is intended to teach you about the duties of a branch pursuivant or pursuivant-at-large in theMiddle Kingdom. It will tell you what your duties are, and how to perform them.It will also teach you the basics of ‘book heraldry’ so that you can help people design armorial devices andchoose names. A copy of the Rules for Submissions is included.Finally, it will instruct you in matters of precedence and courtesy, including the rank and award structure ofthe Society and the Middle Kingdom, and proper etiquette in the presence of royalty.What This Handbook Is NotThis handbook is not intended to be a complete course in heraldry and names. To do that would require atleast a few thousand more pages, which would probably make it too expensive for the average pursuivant. Wehave, however, included some lists and descriptions of books that may prove useful. Your local library mayhave them, or you may be able to order them through your local bookstore. A few books were written by andare available from SCA members.How to Use This HandbookRead this entire handbook at least once. No matter how much experience you have, there may be somethingthat you still haven’t learned, or were misinformed about, or maybe the rules were changed. Then reread itoften. Whenever you expect to do something, reread the relevant sections—the article on field heraldry prior toa tourney, the section on reports when your report is due, sections on armory when helping someone design adevice, and so on.This handbook makes frequent use of heraldic terminology and abbreviations (one of the hazards of SCAheraldry!). We have tried to define such terms wherever they are used, but we’ve probably missed some. If themeaning isn’t obvious from the context, try checking the Glossary of Terms in the back of this handbook.Make extra copies of the submission forms (and instructions for filling them out), so that you can hand themout to would-be submitters.We’ve included some blank pages in the back of this handbook, so that you have some place to recordimportant bits of information, such as the names and addresses of the officers to whom you must report and thecurrent Escutcheon (Kingdom Submissions) Herald, current submission fees, how many copies of eachsubmission form are required, etc., so that you don’t have to hunt for it when you need it.If you can’t find the answers you seek in this handbook, and can’t find any other reference books, don’t feelthat you’re on your own. Help is only a phone call away—contact your regional, principality, or kingdomsuperior. Most of them started out as branch pursuivants just like you, and they will be glad to help you out.Besides, that’s part of their job!Middle Kingdom Pursuivants Handbook2nd Edition - 2002I
