Q: Who or What is the Golden Scroll?
A: The office of the Golden Scroll is responsible for filling requests for replacement charters. A charter is the preprinted, hand-painted document that is distributed with most Ansteorran awards, and which most people refer to as "scrolls."
Q: Who can request a charter from Golden Scroll?
A: If you received a grant-level or lower Ansteorran award, but never received a scroll, you can request one. Golden Scroll does not fill requests for Peerage, Royalty, or Lion scrolls (please contact

Golden Scroll cannot currently fill requests for scrolls for baronial orders, some ceremonial honors, or closed orders.
The intent of the office is to fill requests for people who never received a scroll with their award or who lost their scroll due to extraordinary circumstances, such as a house fire.
It is not appropriate to request a replacement scroll because you don't like the colors in yours, you've changed your persona or the spelling of your name, or you spilled a Coke on it.
Other requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you're not sure, please ask!
Q: How do I request a charter from Golden Scroll?
A: To request a charter, contact Golden Scroll with the following information:
It is especially important that you provide the name of the group where you received your award – that information must be filled in on the scroll, but is not recorded in the OP, so it's often very difficult to find.
Burden of proof is on you. If you cannot provide sufficient proof that you actually received the award that you claim to have, Golden Scroll can't provide a scroll for you. Other types of proof may be accepted; please check with the Golden Scroll if you feel you can provide an alternate form of proof.
Q: When will I receive my charter?
A: The time it takes to complete a scroll can vary depending on a number of factors. However, most scrolls should be received within 4-6 weeks. Feel free to inquire with the Golden Scroll about the progress of your request.
