Melike bint Mihail

Melike bint Mihail (Ottoman)

aka: Mora Macnamara (Irish - first persona)

aka: Fietje Vosseken (Flemish)

My very first SCA event was Honor War in the college of Lyonsmarche, April 2010. From that very first event, I have been hooked (attending at least 5 events per year). I have spent most of my time in the Kingdom of An Tir, with around a 3-year period in the Kingdom of Atlantia (June 2012 - August 2015). While in Atlantia I picked up Rapier fighting, while I continued to work on my heavy kit that I had moved out to the East with me. Once I returned to An Tir I picked up combat archery. My current martial passion is Cut & Thrust, and I have enjoyed picking up target archery as well, first competition at Vulcanalia (archery fest) 2023.
