Update from the Signet

Dear Scribes !

I've had the chance of updating the folio and its list of contents and
here's the new "Wanted - dead or alive but without ink smudges" list of
scrolls. Our current Crown - may Their reign be prosperous and blessed - has
not requested any specific style so you are free and welcome to paint and
calligraph to your heart's delight in whatever way fancy strikes you *S*

* I ask you to please not add the following
o Year AS
o rex/regina, etc. in the signature line
o your name on the front of the scroll
o [Please sign your name on the back so it can be read during court and we
know who created the beautiful artwork for our kingdom. If you prefer to
use a "Maker's Mark" - a little symbol to represent you - you may place
it on the front if it's small and unobtrusive. If you don't sign your
name and I know your work I will do it for you because I'm a firm
believer in "credit where credit is due" *S*]

* Honors [very simple small illumination like an illuminated capital]
o Trimarian Lancer
o Lion D'Or

* Non-armigerous awards [slightly more complex than honors: a simple one-sided
border, a more complex illuminated capital]
o Arent EstoileArgent Estoile
o Argent MorningstarArgent Morningstar
o Argent Trefoil Argent Trefoil
o Silver SaddleSilver Saddle

* Armigerous awards [more complex than non-armigerous awards: 2-sided border and illuminated capital or small miniature, or 4-sided border]
o Trade Winds Trimaris Trade Winds Trimaris
o Silver ShieldSilver Shield
o Argent Scales Argent Scales
o AoAs

* Grant-level awards [very complex illumination, 4-sided border with miniature]
o GoAs
o Arc d'Or Arc D'or
o Triskele Trimaris
o Argent Sword Argent Sword

* At this point we have plenty of the following
o Order of the Greybeard
o Heraldic Display

o Trimarian Order of Gratitude
