About Me

My Photo
Name:

(SCA Persona)-- A Jute, born in the great and fine lands of Juzki (Jutland), I was raised to be a metalsmith but learned to wage battle to protect my home lands. As life went on I saw a need to go forth and crush those that would someday try to take our lands. Now I live by my sword and get paid in plunder. It is a fitting life.. My the gods look down on me with favor. Hearing news of an army from the south advancing north, I and fellow kinsmen took to the ships. We sailed south and west along the coast and down the Elbe. We joined with the armies to push back the advancing Romans. For many years I fought as a mercenary against Rome. With plenty of gold, weapons and armor taken from my enemies I took back to the ship. Sailing from Gaul I made my way north to the island of Britian where I met the people of the crow. Clanne Preachain took me in as one of their own and by their side is where I fought for many years. One day I may find myself in my homelands but for now life is good. I have even married a woman of Anglesey, but she is from a land north of my homelands. She came by way of ship to ply her trade with the spear. Now I fight by her side and with her people.

Highland River Melees - event recap


So, I have been slow putting up my blogs of events. I am a lazy bastard and get around to these things in my own sweet time.

Highland River Melees was great as usual. It was hot. I stayed in my helmet longer than I should have and I did not drink enough water. I was wreked at the end of the day and most of the next. It affected my fighting too.

There was a great showing of the Bog Troopers and we had 4 fighters from Preachain there. The fighting was great. Field battles, village hut battles, 5 men melees and a limited front battle. The limited front was the killer in the heat.

Like I said, a great event as always. We did, as we usually do, hit the road right after the fighting was done. We were tired and starving and looking foward to a nice cool shower.

Oona and I went home showered and had, what is becoming the traditional meal after a local day trip event, dinner at Guapo's. And we all know that you must have Margaritas when you have mexican food.

So, thats my story and I am sticking to it.
