 Pursuivants   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Unlike full heralds, pursuivants were not required to take an oath; they could renounce their office at any time.
The requirements to become a pursuivant were to be well educated and of good standing, in addition they had to serve an apprenticeship of varying length sometimes as short as four years, sometimes as long as seven.
Fifteenth century writers remark that pursuivants were appointed on the recommendation of two heralds, who must testify to their discretion, virtue and honesty.

 Duties of local SCA heralds
Pursuivants handle simple tasks like basic announcements and may be asked to be the herald-in-charge at an event.
When it's someone else's event, the pursuivant could volunteer to be a site herald, a field herald, a list herald, run a consultation table, teach a class on some aspect of heraldry, assist at Court, or otherwise help the herald(s) in charge at the event.
Using the notes and reports from the year, the superior pursuivant has the annual report almost finished on December 31, puts the final touches on it in early January, mails it early, and puts the copy in the office archives.
