*Custom scroll texts should be based on period examples or current approved kingdom scroll texts. *Do not include references to religion unless you known the recipient will not mind and have confirmed that Crown/Coronet/Herald [as applicable] is comfortable with signing it. *Double-check that terminology regarding awards is correct. [include some kind of cheat-sheet here to order names, styling of members, etc.] *When in doubt, run your custom scroll text by the kingdom scribe.
Something like that? It should be possible--after all, illuminators have similar latitude and that works out pretty well (although I suspect there are a lot of scrolls with heraldry that didn't get properly signed because someone didn't remember that bit of the handbook).
(I admit I have a scroll written in lolcat, that was totally not approved by anyone other than the Coronet, and which is totally not period, but I do love it. Kind of a special case, though.)
