| '''Herald''' (HRLD)—'''Herald''' is both an administrative and architectural position. The day-to-day affairs of the '''Herald''' involve the development of [[Warbanners]], [[Lightsabers]], and [[Robes]] for members as they achieve the appropriate [[ranks]]. This important function allows members to gain some level of control over their own characters. However, the more important aspect of the '''Herald'''’s position comes in his work on graphics throughout the Brotherhood. The '''Herald''' is the Brotherhood’s prime image consultant and his work reaches to the very foundation of this club; without the images we see on our websites and within our documents, the Brotherhood lacks any luster. He works constantly to keep the Brotherhood graphics up-to-date and standard-driven. His work is often behind-the-scenes, but it is seen daily. | | '''Herald''' (HRLD)—'''Herald''' is both an administrative and architectural position.

| === The Requisition Limit ===
| | == Fictional Role == |
| The ''Requisition Limit'' policy (unofficially known as ''Vorsa's Law'' among the Herald's staff) establishes the cooldown time between requests as well as how long a request can stay in the queue before expiring. A member of the Dark Brotherhood may therefore request only a certain number of Custom weapons and/or Warbanners in a certain time period. Any requests submitted before the allotted time has expired will be auto-denied. | | The Herald serves the Grand Master as a special envoy and liaison specialist. Where the Emissary serves as the diplomatic face of the Brotherhood, the Herald is the broker, the one who negotiates deals and maintains connections between individuals and organizations. They oversee a network of contractors and informants with the purpose of securing specialized talent, and assists fellow Councilors in reaching beneficial outcomes in their individual negotiations. |
| | |
| This time period is:
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''Three whole months since last request for [[Warbanners]]'''
| | Behind the scenes, they maintain oversight over the Brotherhood's clandestine dealings with the various criminal elements of the galaxy. Through the Shroud Syndicate they ensure protection and provide harbor to criminals and smugglers looking to deal in illicit goods within Brotherhood space in exchange for further connections, income, and information. |
| * '''Six whole months since last request for [[Lightsabers]] and [[Weapons]]'''
| |
| | |
| Request expiration is rare, but it happens. Once a staff member has contacted the requesting member, if they do not hear from them within 30 days of sending the initial e-mail, they will mark the request as expired so that the queue may remain clear. The member will have to re-request after this period.
| |
| | |
| ''Important note:'' A request must be fulfilled before it can count towards this policy. A request unfulfilled due to any reason (member mistakenly submitted wrong data, asked for removal of request, or expiration) does not count as a request fulfilled. However a member who deliberately spams the request form may be permanently banned from requests altogether. Consider your choices carefully.
| |
| | |
| ''The Requisition Limit was placed under effect by V'yr Vorsa on 10/01/2015.''
| |
| | |
| == Fictional Role ==
| |
| The Herald serves as the Emissary of the Dark Council and the public ambassador for the Antei Sector. In may ways, the Herald is the public face of the [[Dark Brotherhood]], liaising with outside parties to preserve and protect the secret of our organization. The Herald is also one of the main liaisons between the [[Dark Council]] and the [[Clan]]s and is rarely seen at the [[Dark Hall]], always away on business elsewhere.
