====== College of Heralds ======
Led by our Trillium Principal Herald, the **Ealdormere College of Heralds** (ECoH) is composed of people from across the kingdom to support heraldic activities, including submitting names, devices and badges, providing training in heraldry, voice heraldry, court heraldry and ceremonies, heraldic display, and other heraldic research. The ECoH website may be found [[https://ecoheralds.weebly.com|here.]]

Anyone who practices the art of heraldry is known as a herald (lowercase). Within the college, however, there are several ranks of herald including: 
  * **Pursuivant-in-Training** - A new herald who is learning the proverbial ropes. Typically these trainee pursuivants are mentored by an experienced herald.
  * **Pursuivant** - After completing their training, a Pursuivant-in-Training becomes a full pursuivant.
  * **Herald (upper case)** -  A Herald (upper case) is a Kingdom or Society level herald, or someone who has been granted this title by Trillium Herald for their great journeyman level knowledge and contribution to the heraldic arts. The title is often used with a descriptive reference, indicating the specific office held. As an example, Green Mantle Herald is the Ealdormere Submissions Herald.
  * **Herald Extraordinary (HE)** - The Rank of Herald Extraordinary(HE) is a Rank bestowed upon a senior Herald of the Kingdom to recognize their extreme service to the College of Arms. (See below for more information).

When a herald holds a heraldic office, they will use either their own heraldic rank, or the rank of the office, whichever is greater. For example, the submissions herald in Ealdormere is Green Mantle Herald, and is called Herald even if the person who holds the office is a pursuivant. By the same token, a Baronial Pursuivant would be called a Baronial Herald if their personal rank warranted it.

===== Heralds Extraordinary =====

The Rank of Herald Extraordinary(HE) is a Rank bestowed upon a senior Herald of the Kingdom to recognize their extreme service to the College of Arms. It is exceptional in all the Society in that it is one of the few awards to not be the right of the Crown to bestow. This is an award given by the Kingdom's Principal Herald on behalf of the Kingdom's College of Heralds or the Laurel Sovereign on behalf of the Society College of Arms.

The award enables the recipient to register their own personal heraldic Title. After that is registered the Herald Extraordinary is then referred to as any other Herald of the College by their Name and title. For example, Magistra [[people:nicolaa_de_bracton|Nika Dmitrieva doch' Zvezdina]] has the personal title of Rouge Estoile Herald Extraordinary. She may be referred to in the College as Nika Rouge Estoile.

The Rank dates back to the Letter of Acceptances and Returns from July 1981 and was created by Master Wilhelm von Schlüssel, then Laurel King of Arms.
