The Livery of the Seal

One mark. Three colours. A buyer should know from across a hall whether they are looking at a community, a dealer or a forge — and be able to check every one of them against the same open register.

The Yellow Seal — Communities

Guilds, fighting clubs, faire courts, LARP fields, HEMA halls, SCA groups.

How it is earned: Named on the Carrier's Roll, a standing field or hall, and a public page where the seal can hang.
What the bearer gets: Free Lawful Edge readings, the field calendar early, members' lessons from the Commons, and a place on the house's own roll.

The Carrier's Roll

The Dragon Seal in the livery of a dealer

The Orange Seal — Dealers

Licensed merchants carrying Warborn steel on their own counters.

How it is earned: Business licence, articles, EIN, state sales certificate, background consent, and a proving purchase held in the hand.
What the bearer gets: Trade standing on the steel, provenance on every piece sold, and the register vouching for the storefront in public.

The Dealer's Gate

The Dragon Seal in the livery of a forge

The Red Seal — Forgemasters

Working forges holding a charter with the house.

How it is earned: A standing charter and the seal shown on the forge's own site. The Siege Engine is carried free; the seal is the whole ask.
What the bearer gets: The eleven instruments at no charge, a seat in the ring, and origin proven on every piece that leaves the fire.

The law of the mark

A seal is not a possession and it is never sold. It is granted on a reading, written into a register anyone may search, and struck from that register the same day a bearer stops deserving it. Colour changes nothing about that: yellow, orange and red are all withdrawn the same way.
