The Castle Herald, which is our internal submissions herald and produces the Letter of Presentation, is currently held by Baron Randall Carrick. Contact him if you find a typo on the Letter of Presentation or are a local herald inquiring about the arrival of your packet.
The Rampart Herald, which is our external submissions herald and makes kingdom level decisions and produces the Letter of Intent and the Letter of Response, is currently held by Hlaford Ædheluulf munec. Contact him if you have a question about the status of your submission (and can't find it through the links below), have commentary on submissions, want more information about a decision made on your submission, if you are a submissions herald from another kingdom with a submitter who previously submitted through us, etc.
These are the updated Outlands College of Heralds submission forms. After September 1, 2006 any submissions using the older forms will be returned. Additionally, any alteration of the forms is grounds for return. The fillable-form .pdf versions can be filled in electronically with either the free Adobe Acrobat Reader or the free Foxit Reader. Foxit Reader will also allow you to save the filled-in form. Unfortunately, neither version will allow you to include the images.
