Persona Background

SCA Interests and Activities

I became active in the SCA in January of AS LVIII (2024).

Music: I was searching for my first musical instrument to learn when another SCA member pointed out that the mountain dulcimer had a period ancestor, the scheitholt. I acquired one of each and started learning. As expected, I really enjoyed learning and playing music. I re-started a monthly Open Bardic Circle at our Baronial Socials and have added a Kantele (Finnish traditional instrument) and a Dejembe (West African goblet drum) to my collection and learning efforts. I have been playing the mountain dulcimer/scheitholt since January AS LVIII (2024), and the Kantele and Dejembe since November AS LIX (2024).

Librarian of Dragon's Laire: I became the Librarian in March of AS LVIII. I took cognizance of the library, moved the collection to modernized shelving and updated the spreadsheet for tracking. I have been working with the Baronial tech team to install and configure an online system for searching and checking out library assets.

A&S Minister of Dragon's Laire: I became the A&S Minister in August of AS LIX (2024), when the previous Minister fell ill.
