Call for Letters- Comet Pursuivant

Greetings from your Comet Pursuivant!

I have proudly served as the BMDL herald for two years. My first term is coming to an end and so I send out a call for letters for anyone who wishes to run for the office. I will be seeking a second term.
Responsibilities include:
-Heralding for Their Excellencies during Baronial court, which happens 4-5 times a year, and publishing a court report afterward.
-Helping gentles with finding and researching a suitable and period name and device, and preparing and submitting heraldic submissions forms for approval by the Laurel Sovereign at Arms herald.
-Updating the Baronial Order of Precedence as gentles are given awards by both Their Excellencies and Their Majesties of AEthelmearc.
Those who wish to be considered are invited to submit an email listing your qualifications and questions to me at herald@debatablelands.org and to the Seneshale, Meestres Odriana vander Brugghe, at seneschal@debatablelands.org.
In service to the Barony-Marche,

Protohaven takes safety very seriously, and operation of the machinery is limited to those who have been taught how to use them. Fortunately, there are people to help us, and we will still be able to complete projects with their assistance.

We are accessible to our less mobile friends, and have free parking, both on the street and in the parking lot. Service animals are welcome.
