Introduction

Lady Griet attended her first SCA event in Trimaris (A.S. XXX) after overhearing "You mean the King and Queen are actually going to make it?!" while on an extended vacation. That piqued her interest and opened her to a vibrant old world.

Years later when brought to Great Northeastern War (A.S. XXXIV) by a group of dear friends she fell in love with the SCA and medieval history as a whole, but didn't dive in fully for several years.

Dabbling became so much more when the Riding of Ravensbridge started developing into a closer place to play. Since then the hobby took over and became a major part of her life.
