Court Request Form

Court Organization Form
          (This form is not an official, required form -- it may be used to help the Court Herald organize their court. It is not required that you use this, it is simply suggested that you do so, or use something like it. Copies of this form are available on multi-part paper from the Vesper Principal Herald (one copy for the Court Herald, one for the Royalty). While this may be used for organizing court, it is not a subsitute for the Court Report Form above, which is the official method of sending the information to the Golem Herald.)
