Trivia
- New Centurions are generally gifted a cudgel as part of that Order's traditions. Runa received a wood hammer that was made by Sir Morgan Black Dragon and passed through a number of hands to Centurion Micauley Morison and then to Runa.
- Runa received three cloaks: One from Sir Wulfgard Martel
Notable Contributions or Accomplishments:
- Held the Sally-port at War of the Rams with Chiaretta and Meesh against a LOT of Ansteorra's army and Centurions. The three of us held it for a significant amount of time...
- Part of the 10 Man Melee team at Pennsic 50 - that was the subject of a bard's song and the King awarded us a Sable Talon.
- First female recipient of the King's Blade of Chivalry, given by Sven Randullsson IV
Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:
- Beacon of Northkeep - given in the middle of the bear pit tourney by Morgan & Montega BlackDragon.

Mundane Information:
Special Needs:
Has asthma - I keep an inhaler in one of my backpacks or on my person.
In Case of Court:
In case of being called up in court, Please add that I wish to not be informed ahead of time and would prefer to be surprised being called up. Knowing ahead of time will set my anxiety off all day and can cause mental problems. If need to inform someone, please privately tell my teacher Micauley Morison. He will know how to help and handle me. Additionally: For being called into Court or scroll texts: Runa prefers the masculine "Bjarki" rather than the registered "Bjarka."
