Welcome to the Delftwood Office of Heraldry and Order of Precedence official web pages!
The Office of the Herald is responsible for both book and voice heraldry. The office helps gentles with the registration of their name, device, and badge. The office also provides heralds for court, tourneys, and general event announcements.
If you are interested in learning and helping with any aspect of heraldry, please contact Delftwood’s Pursuivant, Lady Megge Gormshuileach (herald @ delftwood.aethelmearc.org). The Heraldic staff is always looking for help out in all areas.
