Welcome to the Trimarian College of Heralds!
In the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), heraldry is the study of names and armory as they were used in period, registration of names and armory for participants, and all the areas of interest that go along with heraldry as a whole.
The Trimarian College of Heralds is here to assist you with all of your heraldic needs. If you are looking for something specific, please check the list of deputy officers to see who will best be able to assist you. A description of each office can be found below, while specific contact information is contained in the table above.
If you are looking for general information, or are interested in joining the College, please check out the Trimaris College of Heralds website. If you are new to being the local herald for your group, that is also where you will find information on warranting!
