Scribe's Guild

From Calontiri Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Scribal Arts are not only an art, but also an important service. They are the means by which scrolls are made to recognize achievements in our Kingdom.

Our Scribes are volunteers and the products of their art are given freely, often without compensation for time or materials.

They were inducted into the Order of the Falcon's Heart by TRM Logan and Ylva at Kingdom Heraldic Scribal and Dance Symposium 2022.

Officers[edit | edit source]

Scribal Guild Head[edit | edit source]

Former Guild Heads[edit | edit source]

Falcon Signet, the official Kingdom Scribe:[edit | edit source]

The position of Falcon Signet has changed over the years. Sometimes the Guild Head and the Falcon Signet were the same person. At one point the Falcon Signet was a fully warranted deputy of the Minister of Arts and Sciences. It has been stated that the Falcon Signet used to handle the duties of the Royal Scribe, and that the Royal Scribe was split off into a separate position sometime in the late '90's.

Royal Scribe/s:[edit | edit source]

The current scroll wrangler/s on the Royal Retinue, the ones to contact to help with pre-prints and such.

  • Database of Scribes (Google Docs spreadsheet, maintained by HL Violet Sinclair?) - not linked here because contains personal emails. The link is "pinned" on the Falcon Scribes FB group (see below).
  • Database of Scribes on the CalontirScribes Yahoo Group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CalontirScribes/database/8/edit (need to be Signed In as a member to view)

People interested in helping with pre-prints can contact the Royal Scribe as soon as the Heirs make their choice known, esp. for those who want to help create (not just paint) pre-prints before the new reign begins.
