CAID COLLEGE OF SCRIBES
 
An Acting Scribe Provost has been appointed for Caid, who would like to get people together who enjoy calligraphy & illumination. Lady [[Francis of Dragonsforge]] is interested in forming a College of Scribes for the purpose of getting warrants, promissory notes & fully scrolls done with dispatch & DONE WELL. She's most interested in finding people whose ego will not interfere with getting the job done: good calligraphers should be willing to work with good illuminators to produce an excellent scroll (rather than good calligraphy with sorta-good artwork, or vice versa.) Please contact Lady Frances (details omitted) with a small example of your ability soon. Meetings will be called when she has a list of interested people: don't procrastinate on this, there are many scrolls that are already long overdue! The meetings will include some lessons on techniques, etc, as well as close work with the Heralds on certain subjects.

Thanks to Charles Joiner for his work in scanning all the scroll images from the College of Scribes photo albums. This gallery would not exist save for his hard work.
