A herald is someone who verbally announces or proclaims to an audience. Heraldry is the art and nomenclature of badges and coats-of-arms. Here, you will find information about both of these areas along with some instruction in the scribal arts as well.

A Heraldic Primer

This is a great place to learn how to draw knotwork. Follow the instructions and you will be impressed!
