Court Heraldry

Court Heralds are the formal voice of the royalty and landed nobility. They call people into court, announce the leaders' edicts and whims, and read official documents to the audience.

Tournament or List Heraldry

Tournament Heralds (also called List Heralds) act as masters of ceremonies for martial competitions. They summon the contestants of each bout, announce them to the audience, and proclaim the winners.

Event Heraldry and Camp Cries

Event Heralds broadcast information throughout an event by circulating around the site and using their voice to announce the news, sometimes called "crying camp".
