Society royalty recognise those volunteers who contribute to the group with awards and honours.
In Drachenwald we generate orginal artwork for each award. The documents that commemorate these awards, ‘scrolls’, are individually written and painted by hand, in the distinctive styles of the days (mostly) before the European printing press.
The Signet Clerk coordinates the volunteer artists, scriveners, gilders and artisans to commission this art, based on requests from the royalty.
Collectively the artists are called ‘scribes’. Scribes keep their assignments confidential until the Crown, Coronet or baron and baroness have presented them.
