Oddr entered the Society in AS XXVI, in what was then the College of Hraesvelgr (now Lyonsmarche), attending a feast in Wealdsmere before his first camping event, Honor War the following spring. True to the heralds of period and to his name of the time, Aodh Deoradhán, meaning "Aodh the Wanderer", he frequently moved, particpating in the Shires of Fire Mountain Keep and (in the West Kingdom) Cloondara, before settling in his present home, the Barony of Aquaterra, in AS XLIII.
In AS XXXI, while studying under Fionn Æstel, he was thwacked with the Great Chicken of State and inducted into the Whimsical Order of the Ailing Wit by Grand Puntiff Arwen Lioncourt. Also inducted was the person who would eventually take him as protégé, Anderwyn na Sionain.
Oddr received his Award of Arms from Tiernan and Miranda at September Crown, AS XLV, and was admitted to the Order of the Silver Dolphin a few weeks later by Hauk and Rosamund.
To his surprise, Thorin and Dagmær saw fit to make him a companion of the Jambe de Lion at Aquaterra's Good Yule, AS XLVI.
Steinolfr and Sineidin admitted him into the Order of the Golden Estoile at Boar's Hunt, AS XLVII.
At Aquaterra's Good Yule, AS XLVII, Elisabeth de Rossignol publically accepted him as apprentice.
He has served as Motley Pursuivant, in a deputy role to the Kingdom submissions Herald, the Lions Blood Herald, charged with reporting heraldic acceptances and returns to the populace before assuming the office himself for a two year term from AS XLVI to XLVIII. On stepping down as Lions Blood, Oddr was admitted into the Goutte de Sang at September Crown, AS XLVIII.
He has currently resumed the title of Motley and serves as needed. He also is court reporter for Aquaterra and deputy book herald to Tóki Gorges.
He has taught several classes on the history of armory, as well as classes on the Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA).
He has interests in books, maps, astronomy, music, mathematics, rapier combat, target archery and -- naturally -- the history of heralds and the armorial aspects of heraldry. His recent studies regard the invention of charges over time.
