Ceremonial of the Kingdom of An Tir

Version: (2022)

At the Crown's command the herald shall summon the recipient:

And when they have arrived, the Crown shall describe the reason for the grant.

Then the herald shall read the scroll (or the following if no scroll has been prepared:)

HERALD

for and , [Sovereigns] of An Tir,

send Greetings.

Our subject, , hath pleased us greatly,

and We are minded to Grant them the right to bear Arms [blazon],

and also the right to a crest,

and to show a ribbon and pendant therefrom the An Tir Ensign as Badge of their estate.

In testimony whereof, We do here set Our Hand and Seal

this day of , Anno Societatis , being Gregorian.

, [Sovereign] of An Tir , [Sovereign] of An Tir

But if the recipient has not registered arms, the herald shall substitute the following: "...right to bear such suitable and unique arms as, by consultation with Our heralds, they may devise, and also the right to a crest..."

And after the Crown has congratulated the recipient, the herald shall exhort the cheers of the populace.

• Get a blazon of the recipient's arms, if any.
• Grants are not usually given in the absence of the recipient.
• Be sure you can read the scroll. If you can't, get the text written out for you.
