Policy Level: Informational / WK Policy
Intended Audience: Local Branch Heralds
Abstract: It is a good idea as a local herald to have some of the most commonly
used ceremonies that the King and Queen might need when they visit your local group for
an event. This is a list of links to ceremonies in the West Kingdom Ceremony Book
that it is recommended local branch heralds keep handy.
Rather than re-format the ceremonies for the Herald's Handbook, the individual ceremonies that are most useful if the Royalty visit and do not have the Ceremony Book with them are the ones shown below. These are all in PDF file format, in order to maintain standardized formatting:
- Order of Chivalry
- Order of the Laurel
- Order of the Pelican
- Order of Defense
- Order of the Mark
- Royal Missile Company
- Western Gold Scarf
- Scarf of Merit
- Scarf of the Ash Leaf
- Scarf of the Rose Leaf
- Grant of Arms
- Order of the Western Lily
- Order of the Ash Leaf
- Order of the Leaf of Merit
- Order of the Rose Leaf
- Award of Arms
- Court Baron/ess
- Queen's Order of Grace
- Fealty (Prince/ess, Great Officer, Landed Baron/ess, Chivalry, Laurel, Pelican, Defense, Mark, Royal Peer)
You can get the complete West Kingdom Ceremony Book here:
West Kingdom Ceremony Book (PDF, Large)
And you can get individual ceremonies here: West Kingdom Ceremony Book (Table of Contents) (For example, if the Consort wished to give Queen's Cyphers, you would need to grab that ceremony which isn't specifically listed above.)
For Principality ceremonies, in case of visiting royalty from one of the Principalities, this is the main page for the Ceremony books part of the Heralds website: West Kingdom Ceremonies, includes Kingdom, Principalities, and Baronies (where we have ceremonies from).
