Local Pursuivants (Cantons & Shires)

While Full Status Cantons are not required to maintain a pursuivant’s officer position, it is strongly encouraged that all groups have a heraldic representative. Canton pursuivants must report directly to their Baronial superior.
Canton pursuivants are responsible for the maintenance of a group Order of Precedence which must be forwarded to their Baronial superior as part of their Domesday Report. Canton pursuivants are also responsible for acting as the local representative of the College of Heralds, offering assistance or advise in all matters heraldic for the members of their local group.

While Shires are not required to maintain a pursuivant’s officer position, it is strongly encouraged that all groups have a heraldic representative. Shire pursuivants must report directly to the Trillium Herald.
Shire pursuivants are responsible for the maintenance of a group Order of Precedence which must be forwarded to the Trillium Herald as part of their Domesday Report. Shire pursuivants are also responsible for acting as the local representative of the College of Heralds, offering assistance or advice in all matters heraldic for the members of their local group.

Each incipient canton or shire is required to have a pursuivant before the group can go full status according to Kingdom Law. This person acts as the main contact between the College of Heralds and the new members of the group. This person is primarily needed to ensure that the group’s name is registered. Also in a new group, members need assistance for acquiring a name, device and learning court and protocol.

An incipient canton or shire pursuivant is responsible for following the rules for submissions, reporting and any other requirements that the Trillium Herald and/or the Baronial Pursuivant see fit. The Trillium Herald warrants an incipient canton or shire pursuivant with input from the Baronial Pursuivant if applicable.
