Rank Evaluations for Atlantian Herald

In order to track indivual progress as heralds, the Atlantian College of Heralds employs a System of Ranks similar to that of other Colleges throughout the Society. Ranks are a relative indicator of the breadth of knowledge a herald may possess or their experience in a specific field of endeavor. In an effort to help codify just what a herald might be expected to know, given their relative rank, the following evaluations have been provided for each member's personal use.

These are not required to advance in the Atlantian College of Heralds.

Should a warranted herald feel that they have mastered the knowledge expected of a different rank than the one currently held, filling out and submitting the appropriate evaluation to Triton is suggested. Triton will use them to help evaluate participating members of the College. Successful completion of an evaluation does not guarantee promotion as other factors will also be taken into consideration. However, all warranted heralds submitting evaluations will receive personal consultations with Triton to discuss their rank and areas of possible growth.
