Introduction

Dame Lillia de Vaux (sometimes known as Ermine de Vaux) is a dabbler in many activities: heraldry, embroidery and the fiber arts, botanical history, brewing, target archery, and rapier combat. At the moment, she is trying to learn how to spin and knit. She resides in the Shire of Hartshorn-dale.

She was a cadet to Baron Ian Raven of Tadcaster until her elevation to the Order of the Pelican, and is a member of the Tadcaster Militia. She was a Provost in the now-defunct East Kingdom League of Rapier Academies.

She has been a local chatelaine and held various heraldic offices. She served as Pellycan Quene of Armes, the College of Arms education deputy responsible for name registration decisions at the Society level, from January 2014 to October/November 2016. At the moment, she is enjoying her retirement, having been granted the Herald Extraordinary title of Crampette Herault by Laurel King of Arms. However, she is still an active commenter for the College of Arms and on staff for her successors.

Lillia is a member of the Sisterhood of St. Walburga and joined the Academy of Saint Gabriel just prior to its permanent hiatus. She is also a household member of Dar Nafoura Hajjar (House of the Stone Fountain) and Gryphonhaven (based in the Middle Kingdom). At Pennsic, she lives in the camp of Eldenwood, part of the House of Black Dog.
