Ministry of Civil and
Administrative Affairs

Seals of Other Powers

If somebody hands you a paper under a seal that is not the Ministry’s, this is where you check it. The Ministry records what each seal looks like, what to look for on a true one, and what it is worth.

Anyone may use the Herald’s Workshop — no account, nothing recorded — and take the picture away. A seal made there carries no authority until the Ministry enters it upon this register.

A Jarl, a steward, or the seat of a Hold.

Honoured

The Ministry treats a paper under this seal as genuine until shown otherwise.

Recorded only

We know the seal. We make no promise about what it is worth.

Doubted

Something is wrong with it. Do not act on a paper under it without asking.

Withdrawn

It was honoured and is no longer. Papers under it are void from the day given.

Known forgery

Copies of this seal are in circulation. Treat any paper bearing it as suspect and report it.

A seal on this register is not a promise that any particular paper is genuine. It is a description of what a genuine one looks like. If a paper does not match, bring it to the Ministry.
