Emelev the Chaste

Frequently mistaken for Nadezhda Volynskaiia and Bernadette Ebhilín Árd.

Originally of An Tir.

She received her Award of Arms in the East Kingdom at Vineland Raids II in 2003 by the hand of King Darius and Queen Roxane, under the name Vasilisa Fedorova, known as Vasha. She served in the Northern Army as a siege engineer, operating the ballista "Thirst" in the Ballista Babes of the Freehold of Riverkeep.

Returned to An Tir in the winter of 2004. Developed her current persona as Emelot du Harfleur.

She was admitted to the Order of the Jambe de Lion by the gracious hand of Queen Angharad and King Uther Schiemann der Hount(in absentia) at Glymm Mere Yule in 2005.

Member of House Harfleur, under whose banner and inspiration she fights. Taken as Man-at-Arms to Sir Gernon Valletort du Harfleur the Sunday of Twelfth Night Coronation XL/2006, and squired to said Knight at September Crown 2007. Sir Gernon keeps her soul in a jar in his basement, next to her squire brother Berwyn Ap Ulric.

Emelot is honored to be serving as a guardsman for Her Majesty Elizabeth Yvonne Owles.

Emelot is widely interested in art and variously carves leather, paints, carves wood, and embroiders, though she is generally identified as a metalworker.

Cloak clasps made as gifts from the Shire of Smoking Rocks for King Darius and Queen Roxane of the East, eventually given as gifts at Pennsic to the King and Queen of Calontir.

The subject of my tapestry is my Knight Sir Gernon. Because I've painted his heraldry on so many things that I know it better than mine.
