Persona
Angharat Wyth was born on the Island of Môn, near a town called Llanbedrgoch on the Eastern side of the island in the early 9th Century (834), in Gwynedd, one of the kingdoms of Wales. I enjoy hunting and shooting of arrows from a bow, singing and dancing, heraldry and cooking.
When I was 20 summers old, Rhodri Mawr fought back an invasion of the Black Host, and killed their leader, Gorm/Horm. During my 36 years (834 -870) the Black heathen army of the North Men have fought and taken over the the lands of the Eire across the sea from us. In that time, Llanbedrgoch has also grown into a small trading post for these Y Llu Du as well.
Due to favoring my left hand, and having it marked in a childhood accident, the monks on the island fear me and believe me to be a heathen like the north men and that the devil holds sway in my heart. I feel they are foolish, but no matter. Due to my father's status, they pressured my family to take me to Llanbedrgoch to meet with these north men, feeling that perhaps they would see me as a kindred pagan. I now live in Llanbedrgoch with these pagan raiders, trading with them, learning from them, and teaching them. North Men traders from across the sea have brought knowledge and arts with them as well, such as the harp, fabrics and embroideries, crafted items of bronze, gold, and silver, weapons, and the like, and they export our grain, horses, and unfortunately, slaves across the seas. Welsh women share an almost similar status to these north women, and they are trained in the ways of war as the men are.
