Nicol mac Donnachaidh broke down and joined the SCA in February of 2014 after the promises of cordials and homebrews from friends and enemies alike grew too numerous to ignore.   He enjoys winning new gear from regional tourneys, and proudly wears his House Smüg training whistle.
Nicol mac Donnachaidh has hailed from many corners of the Province of Malagentia, and is a far traveled scribe, bard, and general rabble rouser in the truest tradition of the East Kingdom. Long squired to Syr Matthew des Arden, he is a proud member of the House of the Crucible, of the Duchy von Drakenklaue, and student to Magnus Hvalmagi. While his sword and his helm have long been hung up for the silly reason of "being too old for this shit", he still proudly takes pen to paper, extolling the deeds of the East Kingdom populace when they have been recognized by Their Majesties.
 
He takes great pride in his well researched, persona specific scroll texts, and aims to deliver work that speaks directly to the recipient. Since he also greatly appreciates a well placed joke, he also takes the opportunity to write scrolls based on puns, stories of misaligned prowess, and other frivolity. Rumors abound that he is known to tell many big fish stories about the number of combatants he has slain on the field of Pennsic.
 
In the SCA, as in his modern life, he loves teaching. He has taught classes on music, poetry, the art of wordcraft, the craft of wordart, and everything in between. He has presented original works at bardic circles throughout the kingdom, and failed to deliver on promises to not make Mistress Camille cry for several years now. Awarded his Silver Tyger from Kennric and Avelina, and his Silver Brooch from Ivan and Natavia, he brings his ferocity for life to everything that he does, and would love to write the words for your next scroll!

Introduction

Nicol mac Donnachaidh has hailed from many corners of the Province of Malagentia, and is a far traveled scribe, bard, and general rabble rouser in the truest tradition of the East Kingdom. Long squired to Syr Matthew des Arden, he is a proud member of the House of the Crucible, of the Duchy von Drakenklaue, and student to Magnus Hvalmagi. While his sword and his helm have long been hung up for the silly reason of "being too old for this shit", he still proudly takes pen to paper, extolling the deeds of the East Kingdom populace when they have been recognized by Their Majesties.

He takes great pride in his well researched, persona specific scroll texts, and aims to deliver work that speaks directly to the recipient. Since he also greatly appreciates a well placed joke, he also takes the opportunity to write scrolls based on puns, stories of misaligned prowess, and other frivolity. Rumors abound that he is known to tell many big fish stories about the number of combatants he has slain on the field of Pennsic.

In the SCA, as in his modern life, he loves teaching. He has taught classes on music, poetry, the art of wordcraft, the craft of wordart, and everything in between. He has presented original works at bardic circles throughout the kingdom, and failed to deliver on promises to not make Mistress Camille cry for several years now. Awarded his Silver Tyger from Kennric and Avelina, and his Silver Brooch from Ivan and Natavia, he brings his ferocity for life to everything that he does, and would love to write the words for your next scroll!
