The Augustan Society, Inc., covers the field of Heraldry. This field is rather broad, and national traditions vary substantially in laws, rules, customs, and language. Thus it is considered prudent to name a number of Vice-Justiciars, each an expert in one national heraldic tradition.
These officers are styled "Vice-Justiciar for American Heraldry", ..."Germanic Heraldry", etc. They are appointed by the Justiciar General and serve at his pleasure. There is no limit to the number of Vice-Justiciars that may be appointed, save that only one shall be appointed for each heraldic jurisdiction.
Note: The United Kingdom shall be considered two jurisdictions as the College of Arms and the Lord Lyon do not have overlapping jurisdiction.
Their duties include:
- Consulting with members and potential registrants on the design of new arms when they express a preference for their jurisdiction (or when they reside in said jurisdiction and express no preference).
- Advising members and others on the proper procedure (and cost) for registration in their jurisdiction.
- Providing translations of blazons from their subject language into English (if not English already).
- Serving as a member of the Arms Registration Committee and voting on each petition for registration considered.
- Such other duties as the Justiciar General may assign.
One would hope that each would pen an essay suitable for The Augustan Omnibus on the heraldic traditions of their jurisdiction, and perhaps occasional updates on heraldic events in their jurisdiction suitable for Augustæum.
