NOTE: Since 19 May 2014 I have noticed three attempts by other people to change the contents of my personal page. Is that how we roll on the East Kingdom wiki?

Civic persona

Þóra Sharptooth discovered the SCA in the Shire of Nydderdwhee, Kingdom of Atenveldt (now the Shire of Glaedenfeld, Kingdom of Meridies), in A.S. IX. From A.S. XIII to A.S. XLVI she was a subject of the East Kingdom in the Shire of Frosted Hills. She has been a Viking since A.S. XX. She was a protegée of Master Arnoff Ragnarsson who introduced her to a number of string maniacs before he GAFIAted. Subsequently she apprenticed to Master Huginn Hrothgeirsson (in the feudal line of Merowald de Sylveaston) for 48 hours before becoming a third-generation research Laurel. She has taken four apprentices, all of whom have become Laurels.

Historic persona

Þóra Sharptooth is married to Dofinn-Hallr Morrison, and they have one child, Ljómi. They live on a small stead not far outside the bustling, smelly city of Jorvík (York) in the Danelaw. Her brother-in-law Tanna-Kormakr is the jarl, but he has no wife so she keeps the keys. The year is 950, and Eirikr Blodax is in charge.
