I started in the SCA back in, oh, July of AS 25. My first event - July Coronation, with Their Majesties Davin Stronghand and Octavia Laodice Hybrida Africanus being my first King & Queen and having Their Majesties Tjorkill Kanne and Hlutwige Wolfkiller quickly following. I began my days in Shittimwoode, a lovely little Shire in what is now [in 2008] the Principality of Tir Righ.

I was known as Nettie MacLost for the first several years in the SCA. While in Shittimwoode, I became the Chronicler for the Shire & enjoyed developing the newsletter "Bunny Tales".

In Sept 1993/AS 28, I moved from Shittimwoode & took up residence in what is now the Shire of Wyewood but was then part of the Canton of Port de l'Eau, a Canton of the Barony of Madrone. While living in the Canton, I became the Chronicler for the Western Region of An Tir & held the post for 4 years. Following my regional position, I was Kingdom Curia Clerk for 4 years.

Somewhere in there - in AS 35, it was - King Skapti Ravensfuri & Queen Asa Starradottir elevated me to the Order of the Goutte de Sang at Their Coronation.

I began playing much in the Barony of Blatha an Oir back in AS 29 or AS 30. Back then, I was a food merchant. When I hung up my merchant's apron, I took the office of Chatelain of Blatha an Oir for a short time, then followed that with the Chief Archer's position. From 2001 until 2006, I was part of the warband led by Sir Hathawulf Spearbreaker, Lupus Grex. I took up combat archery & have been on the warfield as much as possible, since then! At some point in this time period, I went for a specific time period of late 12th Century Scotland & researched for an appropriate name for my time period & became Joneta inghean Feradaig until AS 41. At Autumn War of AS 40, I was given the accolade of Most Feared Archer on the Warfield by His Excellency Blatha an Oir, Sven Redbeard Einnarson.

In April of AS 40, I left the Fair Barony of Blatha an Oir and the good company of Lupus Grex and moved to the Shire of River's Bend. After a year, I took the position of Chief Archer and began teaching Ithra classes and really working hard towards my Ithra degrees. I changed my persona time period to a Dark Ages Scot on the Isle of Mann roughly based between 300-400 AD. My name is now Sionaid ine Cullaich, which is the earliest version of my modern given name, traced back through my paternal Scottish lineage. Nettie I was, am and shall always remain...

Currently [Aug AS 43] I am the Chief Archer or the Shire of River's Bend, so appointed in June of AS 42. In June of AS 43, I was appointed Regional Archery Marshal of An Tir by THL Deicyn Moel, Royal Archer of An Tir. I am a founding member of the warband Havoc II, led by Earl [Sir] Edward Ean Anderson. I became Arcarius to master Andras the Truemark in June/July of AS 43. I am now married to a wonderful man from my childhood, known in the Society as Adakan McNiall, Squire to Earl Edward Ean Anderson and Herald of the Shire of River's Bend.
