All the Seals of the Kingdom of the East. Bottom Left to Right: King's Seal, Queen's Seal, Great Seal of the Kingdom of the East (on top of King's and Queen's Seal), King's Chess Seal, College of Herald's Seal, Queen's Chess Seal, Original Seal of the Kingdom of the East.


The Great seals of the Kingdom are used for certain armigious scrolls and for the sealing of charters and letters of marque. Wax seal impressions may be available to any scribe or herald of the East via emailed request to the Tyger Clerk of the Signet or Brigantia Principal Herald of the East (depending on which seal has been requested). There are only certain appropriate uses of the seals, which will be judged by the Royalty, Brigantia Herald, and Tyger Clerk of the Signet.

As these seals have been passed down from reign to reign, so too have the stories behind their creation. Some are a bit newer than others, and there are others still that are deliberately ceremonial in nature due to either being unwieldy or otherwise in a fragile state. Thus to preserve these seals, only the Kingdom officers noted above (Tyger Clerk and Brigantia) currently have access to these outside of the Kingdom Chamberlain's office.
