Northshield Heraldry Letters
The Northshield Heraldry Letter archive, contains current and past ILoIs. Once a month, all of the submissions received by the Compass Herald are put together into an Internal Letter of Intent (ILoI). These ILoIs are commented on by Kingdom commenters and, on the basis of those comments and additional research, the Keythong Herald makes a decision about whether to send the submission out-of-kingdom. The decisions (pro and con) are reported on the Internal Letter of Acceptance and Return (ILoAR).How to Submit Names and Devices
How to Submit Names and Devices
There seems to be a lot of confusion on this matter, so I figure that I had better explain how things work. The submission process is really quite simple.A complete name submission (whether for your persona, alternate name, or household name) should include the following:
-
Two copies of the Name Submission form (one for Keythong and Compass, one for Laurel);
-
Two copies of all documentation for your name; and
- A check for $8.00 (reduced to $5.00, effective November 1st 2007) US made out to "SCA - Northshield College of Heralds".
A complete device or badge submission should include the following:
-
Three COLORED copies of the Device Submission form (one for Keythong and Compass, two for Laurel);
-
One BLACK AND WHITE LINE ART copy of the same form (for Keythong). This copy should be a BLACK&WHITE LINE drawing;
-
Two copies of any documentation for unusual charges (if applicable); and
- A check for $8.00 (reduced to $5.00, effective November 1st 2007) made out to "SCA - Northshield College of Heralds".
A single check may be written out for multiple items (e.g., name and device on one check, etc.).
Official SCA branches (Shires, Cantons, Baronies, Principalities, etc.) do NOT pay for their group name or device submission but still must enclose the appropriate paperwork. However, they must pay for other submissions (order names, badges, etc.).
Mail all materials to:

Timing (How Long Does it Take Anyway?)
Submissions are required to be processed in a timely manner but they still take a long time to process. In the interest of serving you better, I will explain the various steps a submission must go through.Submissions are processed as received and collected together once a month in an Internal Letter of Intent (ILoI). Northshield's ILoI goes out in mid month for the previous month's submissions (i.e., March 15th's ILoI covers submissions received in February). Commentors of the Northshield College of Heralds are given about a month to comment on this ILoI (i.e., the comments of March 15th's ILoI are due to Keythong by April 20th.)
Usually within a month from the deadline, Keythong looks over the comments and the submissions and decides which ones will be sent forward and which will be returned at the kingdom level. The decisions are published as an Internal Letter of Acceptance and Return (ILoAR). The submitters whose items have been rejected will be informed within two months of the rejection. Submissions which are to be sent forward are placed on the Kingdom's monthly External Letter of Intent (ELoI) and sent to the Laurel College of Arms (interkingdom).
Laurel allows four months for commentary before the ELoI will be considered for decisions (i.e., a ELoI sent out in late April will be considered at the August Laurel Meeting). Decisions of Laurel Meetings are made available to members of the Laurel College and Principal Heralds within a few weeks of the meeting in the form of a Letter of Acceptances and Returns (LoAR).
