Introduction

I have had various brushes with the SCA from the fighter's perspective and was never get interested until my very good friend Dorian de San Kalogero voluntold me to play what music I had at the Bellringers event in Carillion in February 2017. It was at that event that I learned that in addition to fighters, the SCA also had BARDS! And they were all going to gather across the river in Bakhail the next weekend for Winter Nights, so it was HIGHLY suggested that I go and make friends! So I did, and now you're all STUCK with me FOREVER!

But then I moved to the Midrealm for college and I can’t really be active until I’m done :(
