[Hartwood] Zuul's application for Hartwood Herald

[Julie MacTíre]

To the Shire of Hartwood,



I, Zuul the Gatekeeper of Gozer, wish to submit my application for Herald at
this time.  Admittedly, I have much less experience than others of this
Shire, having confined my period activities to being the object of worship
of various Mesopotamians, Sumerians and Hittites as early as 6000 BC.  As
someone well-versed in early human history, I believe I bring valuable
experience to the position of Hartwood’s Herald.



Until my re-emergence in 1984 to function as the second half of the pair of
demigods who can open the door to allow Gozer the Gozerian access to the
human world, I have been largely absent from this dimension.  However, I do
not think of this as a negative, but rather as a plus.  Due to my absence, I
have not absorbed any erroneous ideas about SCA heraldry or period naming
practices and can bring the freshness of new eyes to the position, along
with the heady sulphuric smell of the underworld.



My abilities to possess a human form can be very convenient when dealing
with Heraldic “red tape” and getting names and devices pushed through
quickly.  With my demonic soul inhabiting that of a top-ranking Herald in
the SCA when I am not fulfilling duties that require me to be in corporeal
form within Hartwood, I can gloss over deviancies from period nomenclature
and less-than-three-points-of-difference in heraldic submissions.  Some may
say that my methods are “unchivalric”, but I view them more as “strategic”.



Other skills and abilities I bring to the position of Herald are my beast
form of Terror Dog, my wall-destruction capabilities and my ability to
assist in opening portals to other dimensions.  While they are not
specifically supporting the position of Herald, they do help get Council
moving along the lines of the schedule.
