And I had a chance (at the end of my really long email) to score good
points with my soon to be corporate boss. I knew that. I forgot and
thought about the seniority of the kingdoms.
Since the topic of a procession with many heralds came up in the
regalia/insignia discussion, this is a point to consider. With a single
herald in Ansteorra, we are frequently used to seeing the herald come first
and then the noble/royalty. Multiple heralds would usually be as a group
in front (not scattered through the processional line) and least ranking
goes first. Multiple nobles in a line would have their own herald(s) right
in front of them, not everybody's heralds all in one group.
Hmmm... Thoughts for the next Principal Herald ceremony?
