• I've had the chance of updating the folio and its list of contents and
  here's the new "Wanted - dead or alive but without ink smudges" list of
  scrolls. Our current Crown - may Their reign be prosperous and blessed - has
  not requested any specific style so you are free and welcome to paint and
  calligraph to your heart's delight in whatever way fancy strikes you *S*
  • I ask you to not add the following
    • Year AS
    • rex/regina, etc. in the signature line
    • your name on the front of the scroll
    • [Please sign your name on the back so it can be read during court and we
      know who created the beautiful artwork for our kingdom. If you prefer to use
      a "Maker's Mark" - a little symbol to represent you - you may place it on
      the front if it's small and unobtrusive. If you don't sign your name and I
      know your work I will do it for you because I'm a firm believer in "credit
      where credit is due" *S*]
