Raven's Corner of Madness & Musings

Argent, a tower gules within a laurel wreath, on a chief sable three towers argent. Huh? Heraldry can often sound like a foreign language, but can be fun once you get the swing of things. I'll be posting name & device updates, research that I find interesting, helpful guides, and other fun bits that I come across. Want a name and device to call your very own? We can make that happen.

Welcome to the mad house....

So begins the adventure that is the heralds blog. As you may have gathered, your herald is a little off the beaten path. Yep, I'm the amazon at the meetings with the wild hair that tends to growl to keep on point and clarify what has been discussed while furiously scribbling down the meeting minutes. I'm usually running around (often without shoes) helping out where I can and often seen at events accompanied by my hell hound, Marrok. You can also track down where I'm living at camp by looking for the raven and wolf head banner tacked outside. (I will gladly get you started on building your very own device that you can mark your territory with if you'd like....see what I did there.) I have a fondness for ravens, sewing, heraldry, research, archery (although VERY rusty), brewing (or soon to be starting outside of a class environment), and am always looking for some new adventure to experience. I have a list a mile long of new stuff that I want to try out. May hate it or love it, but I want to give it a go.

I plan to use this blog to keep our lovely populous up to speed on any status changes for submissions, spread the love of heraldry, and share any odd bits of info that I think you might enjoy. Have something that you want to inquire about? Ask away. If I don't have the answer, I will hunt it down for you. A topic that you would like to see covered? Bring it on.

    Hello!!! I'm Maddelena de Ricci, but you can call me Raven. I'm the groups local herald and still very much  'green', but am always trying to better my skills. Still trying to get my footing, but always up for questions. If I don't know the answer, I will hunt it down for you.
