Introduction

Drake joined the SCA from 1991-1993, and returned in 2011. (There were a couple of Pennsics and other events in there in the mid-2000's.)

He resides in the Shire of Rusted Woodlands with his wife Lady Jessa de Hunteleghe and their son Spencer Oranwood, but is often found playing in the Barony of Concordia of the Snows among their bardic community. Drake is apprenticed to Mistress Sofia Tyzes, known as Zsof of the Midrealm, and studied previously under Maistre Lucien de Pontivy of the East Kingdom.
