- 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*]
