Just a quick note from Aedan.  What you really received was a promissary
scroll.  It gives you something to hang on to while a "real" AOA scroll is
created.  If you find someone to create one for you, notify the Clerk
Signet(?),
otherwise, someone, somewhere, will eventually be asked to make one for
you.  Needlessly duplicating this effort is a horrible waste of someone's
time.

Many promissaries don't have room for the blazon but the real thing should
have both the blazon and the device itself.

Thanks to those scribes that labor away making beautiful stuff for folks you
don't know...
