Introduction

Cailleach Chiarain (she/her) Pronunciation: KAY-leck vay IN-yen key-ERin, or shortened to Kay-leck key-ERin

  • Once known as Kileigh, now officially registered as Cailleach Dhé ingen Chiaráin, but I'll answer to either in person. It took me 18 years from my first exposure to the SCA to become involved, and now, I have certainly come home.
  • I am formerly a member and officer of the Shire of Old Stonebridges, located in Rockland County, New York. As of September 2020, I reside in the Barony of Buckland Cross, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  • My interests are primarily dedicated to Service, through retaining for the Crown, holding local offices, as well as through Arts & Sciences, including chainmaille (both period and modern), lampworking, and wire weaving. Future forays will include pewter casting, metal smithing, brewing and maybe a dabble in fiber arts. Archery is a re-acquainted interest as well.
  • I am honored to be called a former student of Master Mael Eoin mac Echuid. Under his tutelage, I grew my ability to serve the local offices within the East Kingdom. I am currently the protégé to Dame Ysmay de Lynn from the Barony of Bhakail, where my goals are to hone in on nurturing my path of Art as Service.
  • Name is registered 1200's Ireland. Persona not static. Purveyor of funky pants.
