[Moo] Heralds Title for Stierbach

[Smith CTR Jeffrey C]

Thanks, I will do so.  That is different that other kingdoms that I've been a herald in.  However, since other baronies have registered names for their heralds' offices, I think we are safe to continue coming up with names while I check.

Janos, please check with Triton before you go about making sweeping statements like this.

Atlantia is, perhaps, peculiar among SCA kingdoms these days, in that the rank of Titled Pursuivant still exists. The titles are registered to the kingdom and are given out at Triton's discretion.

For all branches in Atlantia, the perfectly period practice of using the place's name as the heraldic title is available. I was "Stierbach Pursuivant" for several years, and actually used that in correspondence on occasion during my tenure.

I've no strong opinion on whether we should work on a title, or what it should be if we do.

currently Sackbut Herald, formerly Kraken, formerly Golden Dolphin before that, formerly Kraken before *that*, and also formerly Stierbach overlapping parts of the last two and also preceding both (long story)...
