Open scroll (Accepted)

Closed scroll palewise (Accepted)

A scroll is a roll of parchment or paper.  The mundane heraldic scroll seems to be a simple banderole, which is also called an “escroll” (and is so blazoned in the Society).  In Society armory, the term “scroll” refers to the ancient form of book (still used for some sacred texts, such as the Torah); this form of scroll has not been adduced in period armory.

A scroll may be either “closed” (rolled) or “open” (partially unrolled).  As neither type is default, the type should be explicitly blazoned; open scrolls are more common in the Society.  Closed scrolls always include the handled rods around which the paper is rolled; open scrolls may include the rods or not, at the artist’s discretion.

An open scroll is palewise by Society default.  No default orientation has been defined for closed scrolls; the illustration shows a closed scroll palewise.
