[MR] herald question.... unrelated

[BATCOK at aol.com]

Actually, what you've got is a slightly loaded question.  You see, there are 
actually two levels of Heralds that operate to the benefit of the Kingdom of 
Atlantia.  

The first level contains those who work directly for Atlantia, just over a 
dozen full ranked Heralds.  Of those individuals, only two have set jobs 
attached to their titles: Triton Principal Herald (Big Admin Boss), and 
Golden Dolphin Herald (Big Submissions Boss).  The remainder of the kingdom's 
Heralds have titles and jobs that they do for Triton.  The titles are 
attached to the person and not to the job they do, so while  today's Sea 
Urchin Herald is doing new herald welcome packages and Pearl Herald is 
setting University heraldic tracks, tomorrow's Sea Urchin and Pearl may have 
their duties swapped.  The Roster of Atlantian Branch Heralds includes the 
listing of who does what job for Triton, branch and direct, and can be found 
at:  http://herald.atlantia.sca.org/branch.htm

The second level are those Heralds who work directly for the Society.  The 
titles for these individuals are more directly attached to the jobs they do.  
Examples include, but are not limited to: Laurel Queen of Arms (Big Society 
Boss Herald), Pelican King of Arms (Assistant Society Boss Herald), and, as 
you mentioned, Morsulus Herald (Keeper of the Big Book of Registered 
Heraldry).

If you have any direct questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Lord Michael Batcok
Triton Principal Herald
