'''Emelyn Fulredy''' first encountered medieval reenactors in the fourth grade, when they visited her elementary school class and talked about life in the middle ages. It stuck with her permanently as one of the greatest things she had ever seen. When she heard of the Society in high school and college, she tried to find local meetings, but had no luck. Then, on one fateful journey home from the grocery store, she spotted a plywood sign by the side of the road. It bore a plain shield and three familiar letters. With a sudden yelp of "Follow that sign!"  and a startled screech of tires, life quadrupled in awesomeness.
'''Emelyn Fulredy''' is a heraldry zealot who served as [[Hazel Leaf Pursuivant]] from 2013-2016. Though currently between offices while caring for a newborn, she is Bardic Champion of [[Terra Pomaria]] and a [[courtier]] to Their Excellencies.


Emelyn is now happily cocooned in a gigantic [[Hazel Leaf Pursuivant|pile of heraldry]] in [[Terra Pomaria]]. Her husband (the tire-screecher, bless his heart) is Gregory de Munemuth, who is less active in the society, but supports Emelyn by entertaining their two young sons, Daniel and Noah. If you meet him, please challenge him to a game of chess! Their family and guests loosely comprise Human House, which is... mostly just silly.
Armorial research, design, and consulting are Emelyn's primary passions. She also loves onomastics and the "voice" side of heraldry. Her [[eureka syndrome|other interests]] include period music (for voice, recorder, or pipe and tabor), scribal arts (mainly drawing), persona development, and backgammon.

There they earned the favor and patronage of an eccentric vicar who now employs Gregory as a clerk, courier, and tutor at the magnificent new Lincoln Cathedral.
