Message from Gold Falcon

Welcome to the world of Calontir Heraldry. Heralds serve the kingdom and society with our voices, our hands, and our minds. We can craft you a beautiful device, pluck a perfect name, or call you to the field of battle! Here you can find information to submit your heraldry. You can also find information on how to join this noble band of nerds.
I am humbled to be chosen to serve as the 22nd Gold Falcon Herald. I will do my best to follow in the steps of those that have come before me and leave a path for those that will come after. I have been a herald since my first event and it is a cornerstone of my participation in the SCA. During my tenure, I hope to share some of my enthusiasm with new and senior heralds. My goal is to make the art and science of heraldry accessible to everyone.
Interested in learning more about heraldry? Please reach out! We have all been in the same position. I would be more than happy to help you on your first steps as a herald. My favorite part of the SCA is helping someone find their Thing.  Heraldry is one of my Things. Maybe it’s one of yours too.
Please feel free to direct questions, suggestions, and concerns to goldfalcon@calontir.org. If you aren’t sure what you are looking for, let me know and I will get you pointed in the right direction.
