Heraldry

Heraldry is my main interest and hobby inside the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It's not the first thing about the SCA that interested me, but it's certainly the primary thing that keeps me around. I find the subject endlessly fascinating, if a bit esoteric; it's not something that is terribly useful outside of its specific context, and in truth I have more of an faint academic interest than an active interest in modern day non-SCA armorial heraldry. Inside the SCA, however, heraldry is a very active thing: spanning both names and armory, very personal identifiers of individuals and groups of individuals alike.
