1. A database of all honors given by Avacal and received from any SCA branch in the Known World. It is maintained by the College of Heralds by the Sanguinaris Herald and their staff.

The Avacal OP is presented in many ways. It is presented by rank within the Kingdom - hence the "order" part of the name, alphabetically - also known as the roster, by Principality, and by branch.
