Introduction

I'm moving to the Kingdom of the Outlands in Summer 2021 - please bear with me as this page may not be entirely up to date during this life change.

I have been active since spring 2017 in the Crown Province of Østgarðr. I enjoy rapier fencing (currently authorized in single sword & sword and dagger, and practicing for auth in rigid parry) and regularly attend our local practice, where I'm a Marshal in Training. I've also been active in the webministry as the officer for the Crown Province.

Please note, my pronouns are they/them/theirs, and I prefer gender-neutral forms of address (Noble is currently my preferred title, now that I have an AoA).

(You may also have met me in Æthelmearc circa 2012, when I was in my freshman year of college, or in the former Shire of Frosted Hills, as a child.)

Offices, Positions, Awards, etc

• Webminister of Østgarðr, August 2018 - May 2021
• Award of Arms - Ozurr and Fortune (April 2019)
• Order of the Silver Wheel - Tindal and Alberic (December 2020)

In Case of Court

I'd prefer advance notice if I am to appear in Court. I don't like surprises! I don't always stay for the longer royal courts so please warn me in advance if something's happening that I should be there for.

I am fine with receiving awards online, but I don't always attend or dress up for court at home; please let me know in advance if I need to be prepared to turn on video.

Persona

Very much still in progress, and not currently focusing on this :) I am curious about southern Italian city-states, e.g. Amalfi.

Projects & Publications

I've started a blog about my SCA-adjacent experiences, it is available at my website.
