Preface

It was my great pleasure to be the editor for the proceedings of the A.S.XLIII Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium, hosted by the Shireof Thamesreach. It’s been a decade since the symposium was last held inDrachenwald, and it is my hope that the articles collected in this volumereflect the growing diversity of interest and the depth of knowledge that theheralds and scribes of the Known World have gained in the last ten years.

I’m grateful to all of the authors who offered articles, both those whichare included in this volume and those which we’ll hopefully see in next year’s.For the preparation of the proceedings two people must be thanked specifi-cally: Arqai Ne’urin, who provided the drawings of the author’s arms, andJoel maritus Sarae, who provided the technical assistance to turn individualLATEX files into one coherent file. My thanks to both for their contributionto making this proceedings look as spiffy as it does!
