The list of registered heraldic titles is at:
http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/docs/heraldictitles.html
This list is not up to date, but it's fairly close. The changes I know of are:
- Orle is now actively used (so the "No" in the curr column would get removed)
- Rowel is now in use, but for "Commentary, External" or maybe
simply "Commentary" - Etienne?
- And there were a couple of scribal titles registered in the last year or so,
right? (I found Golden Scroll Pursuivant & Scroll Pursuivant, reg. 06/2003)
- Also, Kathri's personal heraldic title (Cross Flury Herald, reg. 11/02,
transferred 12/03).
The titles in the list on our webpage generally include an indication of what
each heraldic title is used for. Maybe we could put a link to it on the FAQ
page to make it easier to find. Is that a useful idea?
