Name and Device Submissions

Registering your chosen SCA name and device is a relatively simple process. Consult with any of our heralds to find out how to choose a name, design a coat of arms or personal badge, and how to submit it.

Why Should I Submit My Name/Device/Badge for Registration?

• Create a unique name, specific to your persona
• Once you register your item of choice, it's yours - no one else can use it
• Ensure your SCA identification is medievally authentic
• Participate in the pagentry with your own banners and heraldic displays

To contact the Submissions Herald, please email Arwyn of Leicester.
