<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Actually, what you've got is a slightly loaded question. You see, there are
<BR>actually two levels of Heralds that operate to the benefit of the Kingdom of
<BR>Atlantia.
<BR>
<BR>The first level contains those who work directly for Atlantia, just over a
<BR>dozen full ranked Heralds. Of those individuals, only two have set jobs
<BR>attached to their titles: Triton Principal Herald (Big Admin Boss), and
<BR>Golden Dolphin Herald (Big Submissions Boss). The remainder of the kingdom's
<BR>Heralds have titles and jobs that they do for Triton. The titles are
<BR>attached to the person and not to the job they do, so while today's Sea
<BR>Urchin Herald is doing new herald welcome packages and Pearl Herald is
<BR>setting University heraldic tracks, tomorrow's Sea Urchin and Pearl may have
<BR>their duties swapped. The Roster of Atlantian Branch Heralds includes the
<BR>listing of who does what job for Triton, branch and direct, and can be found
<BR>at: http://herald.atlantia.sca.org/branch.htm
<BR>
<BR>The second level are those Heralds who work directly for the Society. The
<BR>titles for these individuals are more directly attached to the jobs they do.
<BR>Examples include, but are not limited to: Laurel Queen of Arms (Big Society
<BR>Boss Herald), Pelican King of Arms (Assistant Society Boss Herald), and, as
<BR>you mentioned, Morsulus Herald (Keeper of the Big Book of Registered
<BR>Heraldry).
<BR>
<BR>If you have any direct questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
<BR>
<BR>Lord Michael Batcok
<BR>Triton Principal Herald

<BR>
<BR>How many different heralds are there? Okay.. that may not be the RIGHT
<BR>question... but see if you can fill in the blank here....
<BR>
<BR>I Know we have different heraldic offices with their own names... such as
<BR>Narwhal Herald and then today i found out there's a Mursulus Herald; what
<BR>other Herald named offices are there?
