Greetings from Doireann Dechti, resident of the Shire of Cragmere!

I have been in the SCA since June 1998, and became interested in heraldry right away. All of these years later, I still love heraldry, with it's interesting mix of rules and creativity.

I served as the branch herald for Cragmere from May 1999 until January 2006, and have served since that time as deputy to our current branch herald, HL Charles le Verdier.

In the first few years, I learned from and eventually helped, the An Tir College of Heralds through their email list and Heraldic Symposia. I still have very much to learn.

In May 2002, I accepted the office of Black Stag Herald - Black Lion's Educational Deputy - and ended my tenure in October 2005. In that time, I arranged and ran three An Tir Heraldic Symposia.

On June 25, 2005, I was honored to become a protege to Master James Llewellyn ap Gruffyd.

I have earned my Magistrae Ithra teaching Introduction To Heraldry, and have also taught Designing Your Device, and the Core class Basic Heraldry.

I have autocratted a few small events, usually our May picnic, and occasionally an Autumn revel. At out-of-shire events, you will likely find me at the list table, and I have recently helped on the archery range as well.

Currently, I am the Baronial Naming & Heraldry Steering Leader. As of March 15, 2009, I have started my reign of terr...er, I mean... term, as seneschal of Cragmere.
