The goal of both the Handbook and the Companion is to de-mystify heraldry in Calontir, and make it easily accessible to new heralds, new-to-Calontir heralds, heralds suddenly called upon to do heraldic jobs they don’t usually do, and interested people who don’t realize they want to be heralds yet.
The Handbook, itself, is meant to be a complete, self-contained guide so that a herald can attempt almost any heraldic task with reasonable confidence that they won’t mess up too badly if they follow the Handbook.
The articles in this Companion to the Handbook (mostly gleaned from the old Handbook) provide more detailed information for those who want to dig deeper – from additional ways to introduce fighters, extra vocal exercises, finer points of name documentation and handy handouts on tricky armorial topics. The articles also give different points of view about how to do some jobs, for example in field heraldry, where there are articles by different heralds with different philosophies about heralding tourneys – because there isn’t “one true way”.
