Persona

Eoghan Ua Cléirigh was born in Connacht in 991 AD in the household of his parents who lead the Túath. He would have started learning to manage the family's land at an early age, raising cattle and learning to fight. As a teen and young adult he would have ranged out with other youths as part of one of the many fianna, until the death of his father and he inherited his land. He then married Muirenn with whom they had two children, one son and one daughter.

Chronology

2022

• First Event: Egil's Tourney.

Competed in three pillars with Holmgang, thrown weapons, TW marshaling, Egil's tourney marshal, Court Heralding, costuming, Scribal arts, voyage cooking, teaching (Intro to Thrown Weapons), and set up. And I won costuming. John Wayland took me on as an Arcuarius.

• An Tir West War: We camped all week. I fought with the Summits Army the first day and the last, an armor malfunction kept me off the field the middle day.

• July 21st: we helped at the Lane County Fair Demo.
• Long and Short: I fought in the morning. After our potluck lunch, Onóra and I set up targets for the youth archery championship. I helped her prep her toilet paper themed shoot and she pulled it off beautifully. She also made little leather favors for every competitor. Competed in both the archery and TW championships and won the TW championship stepping up at court as TP's TW champion.
• Aug 26th: we tried to go to Briaroak Bash, but right after we arrived, they had to cancel it due to a nearby wildfire. There was much disappointment, but those of us who were there drove out to Quinn and Leann’s house where we visited, had a potluck, and helped the kids craft hobby horses.
