[ANSTHRLD] Pursuivants/Heralds at Large

[Kihe Blackeagle]

While I can recall having assisted in creating or at least reviewing one early version of "the test" (did Zoren uff Eiren have one in the works around ASXV?  otherwise circa 1994ce / AS 29?), I can't recall ever formally taking it myself -- and really don't know if my name ever appeared on any regional or other "at-large" roster of any type since it was used to determine such things.
 
Kinda like Crandall -- yeah, you, Olde Pharte -- I wander the halls and help whereever and whenever I can.  Loud mouth, opinions, and all.  (Been doing that heraldically longer than I've been associated with the SCA, actually...)
 
Do I expect or need an official designation to go with that?  Not on my own account.  I've still got my lovely P.E. charter from Aureliane Star if I want to drag out anything remotely formal. Might help the clients place me in their mental structures if I had something more recent / relevant to the current formulations, though.  And, yes, I'll gladly sit the test the next time I'm where it is being offered -- partly for my own curiousity, as usual.
 
(And, yeah, in my personal case that has been complicated by long-term contracts outside of Ansteorra the past few years.  So I keep doing what I normally do with a different set of faces.   Sometimes they just happen to be at higher levels than others [time w/Margaret Pelican when I was in western Pennsylvania, or with Da'ud Laurel in the mid-90's, or with Reinholdt Compass and Anplica Keythong and RoseMarian <err, apologies, not retrieving her current title> here in Northshield>], sometimes with plain ordinary newcomers looking to avoid as many "misteaks" as possible in their name or armory choices.)
