Unto the College of Arms, does Mistress Jaelle of Armida, Laurel Queen of Arms sends greetings:

Herewith you will find a Laurel Letter of intent, for the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Harpy Herald. Transfer of Heraldic Title.
This is official acceptance of the transfer of the title from the West.

Pelican Sovereign of Arms. Heraldic Title.
Heraldic titles came from several sources. Among them name of orders, as in the Garter King of Arms, from the Order of the Garter, and charges used in heraldry, as in the Lyon King of Arms. Pelican follows both exemplars, as it is taken the SCA order of the Pelican and it is also a heraldic charge.

Siren Herald. Heraldic Title.
This follows the exemplar of being an heraldic charge. Parker, p. 406, gives "sirＯe" as the French form of mermaid, and states "The Siren seems to be only another name for the mermaid."
