[tirrigh-heralds] Heraldic Titles for Tir Righ

[Judy Harcus]

We just registered "Silver Pillar Herald" (Dec 2009).  The use of 
"Silver" is also grandfathered to Tir Righ for both heraldic titles and 
order names.

However we don't have to rely totally on that since the May 2008 Cover 
Letter states:
"Silver in order and award names: The August 2005 cover letter says that 
"orders named for heraldic charges or for items that, while not found in 
period as heraldic charges, may be used as heraldic charges...may 
contain the ordinary color names of any heraldic tincture." This 
includes the use of Silver as the ordinary color name of argent."
