Links to existing sites

These are first because they have more important information.

• Yahoo Group: meridies-heralds ... an open, moderated discussion list for SCA heraldry in Meridies; heralds in Meridies and other kingdoms discuss and check for conflicts on heraldic submissions and talk about heraldry and other topics; this is the primary computer-based tool that heralds in Meridies use to communicate with each other; this is also Beacon's primary tool for communicating with the heralds in the kingdom
• Cypher Pursuivant's Page ... submissions FAQ; among many other things, Cypher receives submission paperwork from local heralds, prepares a Letter of Intent (with information collected from the submissions), and sends it to Pennon
• Pennon Herald's Site ... the site helps local heralds prepare submission paperwork and lets individuals monitor the progress of their submissions; Pennon is the link for submissions between Society-level (the College of Arms) and kingdom-level (here, that's Cypher)
• Meridies Order of Precedence ... the awards database that the Torch Herald maintains; which now (as of late December 2007) includes an order of march that reflects the true order of precedence
• Parchment Pursuivant's Site ... "the website for the production of Scrolls within the Kingdom of Meridies" - this is an extensive site authored by a former Parchment officer, Maestra Serena da Riva; the site has advice, examples, handouts, and MANY links
• Bagatelle Pursuivant's Site ... this officer is "charged with the upkeep of the stockpile for Award Regalia handed out with Kingdom Awards" - the site has many images of badges, Kingdom Law excerpts, and files of instructions for making award regalia

Some or all of the content on the sites above will be migrated to this site over time.
