Modern path

Svana Sölgadóttir first met the Current Middle Ages in 1996 when a friend took her to her first event in the Bois Ardent. After her friend moved, a 4 years gap followed, when she finally traced back people from Bois Ardent, her local group. She became active in 2000 under the name Ariane de Meursault, hardworking with several offices and other tasks, and trying out new experiences while having fun at it. She registered the name "Jehanne la Doulce" with armory but left behind the name "Ariane de Meursault" in 2003 to adopt the Norse culture and the name Svana Sölgadóttir. After going on hiatus in 2006, 2007, she gradually came back at the end of 2008 to pick up her path where she left it in January 2009.

Persona

Svana Sölgadóttir is born in 967 in the lands of the North. After having his husband wear a tunic that revealed too much of his upper chest, she obtained a rightful divorce. Since, she runs the house, cares for her son and takes part in the yearly Thing, while pursuing her other duties and interests, filling a need whenever she can.
