It is appropriate for the complexity of Baronial scrolls to be at least a reasonably complex historiated capital and/or a 1-sided design, be it top, bottom, or sides. The exception to this rule is the Trident's Keype, which shoud be a 2 sided scroll or a very ornate 1 sided scroll because it is often an AOA.
Complexity can be increased easily with pen work or white work, or shading.
If you are turning in scrolls that are drawings or illuminations, but not calligraphed, then please leave the circle or space for the badge blank, so that we can use the scrolls for the awards that we have need of.
Calligraphers, please leave an entire line blank for the recipient's name, their Excellencies' name, and the date. Please also do not add "Baron" and "Baroness" to the bottom, as some coronets have cultural preferences for their titles.
Award wordings can be found on the Baronial Award Verbiage page.
