Heraldic Ranks and Titles in Caid
In Caid, the only heraldic titles which carry a rank are Crescent, Dolphin,
and the titles for Crescents Emeriti (former Crescent Heralds), all of which
are Heralds. For all others, the rank used is that of the current holder of the
title. For example, Aurum could be the Aurum Herald, Aurum Pursuivant or Aurum
Macer, depenting on the officer's personal heraldic rank.
The ranks currently used in Caid are Herald, Pursuivant, and Macer. A herald
is In Ordinary if they hold a territorial or staff position, and Extraordinary
if they are "at large." "Herald" (capital "H") is
a title, while "herald" (lower-case "h") can refer to
anyone who is practicing heraldry.
