Introduction

Greetings!

I am Máistir Mael Eoin mac Echuidh, originally from the Canton of Whyt Whey in the Crown Province of Ostgardr, now residing in the Barony of Bhakail (Greater Philadelphia area).

When initially looking to join the SCA, I intended to learn to brew and cook in a medieval manner and to learn the ins and outs of heraldry. Instead, I quickly found myself fighting heavy list, dancing and generally helping out wherever needed, often hanging out in kitchens at events or holding positions in local groups. I've come to realize that I prefer doing what I can to help others enjoy the SCA; their happiness is my happiness.

I was a protege and apprentice of Viscount Alexandre Lerot, Baron of Avigne along with Lady Alessandra Bruccioli, and, until his elevation, Master Pascual del Mar. On February 13th, in the 50th year of the Society, I was recognized as a Companion of the Order of the Pelican. I had a lot to learn to get to this point and I already see much before me that I have yet to learn, whether as a Peer or otherwise.

Protégés

Herr Matthias von Würzburg is active in the Kingdom Webministry and serves the Shire of Nordenfjord as their Webminister. He is also becoming active in the scribal community after resurrecting calligraphy skills to write our fealty oaths/contract.

Tiarna Alana O'Keeve is very active in the Thrown Weapons and Archery communities as a marshal and instructor, and is also a Herald at large. She has held many local offices and serves the Region officially, too.

Lady Chana Freidl the Maker is an outstanding Chatelaine and has been focused on improving the experiences of newcomers since becoming involved in the SCA, even when she was very new herself. She also serves those around her and abroad as a photographer at events and is very active in our Black Boot Company newcomer household. Her non-service fiber-related skills are very noteworthy and I am looking forward to encouraging more along those lines while also learning the same, as time for us both allows.

Students

Lady Cailleach Dhé ingen Chiaráin is an attentive and motivated officer, very active in the Shire of Old Stonebridges. She is interested in group management and growth and I believe she will excel in those endeavors.

For all whom I support, encourage and advocate for: if there is praise to be given, give it first to them and consider letting me know as well. If there is criticism to be given, please give it to me that I may help give feedback to them.

Households and associations

The Company of the Black Boot is a household for newcomers, started when we realized there were members in the area who had been around a while but still confused by some of the SCA's terminology, award and group structures, among other things. We modeled the household on one I saw in the Kingdom of Atenveldt - invite newcomers in, help them out for a year or two, then have them leave the household. Since discussing the idea, a number of people have stepped up to help out do what we can for people new to the SCA.

I self-identify as a member of Sharc Pit and Ysmay and I are members of the Tadcaster Militia.

Persona

Mael Eoin is a 12th Century Crusader originally from Ireland but to be found anywhere between there and the Outremer. He is a Knight Hospitaller, one of the military brothers of a Holy Order originally formed to protect and provide hospitality to pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. As a landed Baron, the Hospitaller kit was largely closeted, which led him to wear a slightly more colorful wardrobe.
