Shannon inghaen Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin
Introduction
Bantiarna Shannon inghean Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin, pleased to meet you! My very first event was NRWC in July 2000, after which I promptly lost track of the SCA for nearly four years. I rediscovered it after I was discharged from the Army in the Barony of Western Seas, Caid (Hawaii). I have since lived and played in four kingdoms (Caid, Atlantia, West and East).
I am a member of House Rosegate and protege to Mistress Arianna Morgan. I currently reside in the East, but Lochmere will always be my home.
Persona
15th c. Irish noblewoman (who greatly fancies Viking attire!)
In Case of Court
- Please contact my husband. He wants to be there! And he has answers to most questions you may have. In case of Peerage, please also contact my Pelican, Mistress Arianna Morgan. My In Case of Peerage files can be found here: Pelican | Laurel
- For a list of events I plan to attend, please reference my 50 States of the SCA blog.
- Scroll Preferences: Any size scroll is great -- wall space is not an issue! I love Celtic knotwork. I prefer a palette of green, blue, black, and silver/white. I am not at all fond of pink. I love non-traditional scrolls (stained glass, pysanky eggs, etc!).
