Kenneniah

Kenneniah, the real story

Kenneniah aboard the Lady Washington, getting his bard on

Kenneniah is one of the amazing Bards of Keypoynt, spending his SCAdian time barding it up with his real-life and SCAdian ladywife, Amnara, and his brother-in-law, Reyus. He is really really ridiculously good-looking, and probably would have written that himself because modesty is not one of the virtues he is weighed down by.

He would rather play guitar and sing silly songs around any campfire than draw a blade or bow, but at least he's good at it, so he tends not to get killed anyway.

Kenneniah and Amnara's first child, Kenneniah Alan McCartney (Niah, as we call him), came into the world on November 27, 2011, weighing in at 9 pounds, 2 ounces, and at 20 inches long. Niah is already an appreciator of all things bardic, much to the delight of his parents.

The Rather Bardly Tale of Kenneniah

Kenneniah's rather imaginative device, also used for the Bards of KeyPoynt

When Kenneniah gets around to actually writing his persona history, it'll go here. And it'll be awesome. It'll talk in glorious detail about how his father was a Hessian mercenary during the ongoing Crusades of the late 12th century, and his mother was a young Jewess. It will go on to say how his father sought to show him the glory of battle, but instead scared the young boy silly and prompted him to run off at an early age to seek making his way in the world through the beauty of song and bringing joy to others. And then it'll get to the REALLY good part where he winds up in Eastern Scotland and meets the love of his life, the talented and ever-lovely Amnara, and they join forces as an entertaining duo. They happen upon the traveling Towne of KeyPoynt and are adopted as the resident bards as they travel the world.
