Introduction

Lord Conn mac Branain


I was introduced to the SCA as a concept in 1988 in university by my best friend. My immediate reaction was “That’s like live D&D! Cool!” There was no local branch in Prince Edward Island and for one reason or another – life being the primary reason – I never followed up on that initial interest until winter 1993. My friend and I made the journey to an event in the Barony of Ruantallan and we were both hooked.


On the road trip back, we decided to start a group and I somehow volunteered to be the Seneschal. That September, we held our first meeting, got the paperwork signed and sent off within a few days and thus the Canton of Ynys y Gwaed was born.


I remained active in YYG both as an officer and as just a peon until 1998, when I moved to An Tir and got to know the wonderful people of the then-Shire of Dragon’s Mist (now Barony of).


Came back from An Tir in 2003, got active again in YYG in 2005 and remained so until 2008, when I moved to the heart of Ruantallan, where, again due to Life™, I went inactive until moving back to YYG in 2014. Since Fall 2015, I’ve been active in YYG again (though now, the YYG stands for Ynys y Gwaun).


I don’t really don't do much of note in the Society, other than attend events and be a bit of a policy wonk. Recently, I’ve discovered that I like to weave, bake bread, and I may finally, actually seriously get in to fencing and archery.

Projects & Publications

Inspired by Firebrand Herald, I’ve begin a project to record the current and past customs and traditions of the Barony of Ruantallan and the surrounding Shires. There are many customs that I remember from when I started which are now no longer practiced, and many more which have been forgotten. This is our history, our link to the past. It tells the tale of how we got here and who we aspire to be as a Society, and it needs to be written down before it disappears entirely.
