Timeline of Activity:
2016: Joined the SCA in late 2016, jumping in both feet in and hiting the ground running, becoming a thrown weapons Deputy branch Marshal for Namron, dabbling in archery and falling in love with the missile community.
2019: I became an Arcarius to Duchess Margherita at Ansteorra's 40th year in 2019.
2022: Engaging in service of all kinds from the very beginning, I found my next grand love in The Society. I became protégé to Countess Michelle at Gulf War 2022.
War of the Rams, 2024
Finally making a WotR post! What a whirlwind event! WotR is still one of my favorite events, and this year didn't change that. I spent time with so many of my chosen family, met so many new friends, finally worked on a project with my service family which was amazing, and as always, I spent time on the Missile ranges, which was wonderful, eventful, and fulfilling.
The Arc d'Or circle and Their Majesties saw fit to add me to the ranks, and I am humbled. This is something I've been working towards for some time now. I was made an Arc in the same court as my dear friend and one of my oldest thrown weapons companions Aki James and I could not be happier to share my grant date with such a wonderful person.
To my Arc, Margherita de Mantua, thank you for seeing me through to my entry to the circle. Your guidance always came at the right moment. I love you so much and I'll always be grateful you put a red bracer on me. Thanks for believing in me. And to Ryan Savage thanks for the axe addiction, I owe you one. 😂💜 Also thank you for always teaching me, smack talking me when I needed it, and inspiring me to keep going. And a very special thank you to my husband, JRaulff Smeithberde for putting up with my crazy schemes for tournaments, over obligations for events, frustrations with myself, and patience when i needed it. There are tons more people that supported and inspired me on my way to this point, too many to tag, just know that I am grateful.
The scroll that I was gifted to commemorate this was created by an incredible artist, Cera ingen Fháeláin, and I'll be completely honest, I've lusted after her art for so long I can't explain how excited I am to have some for myself. It will be the center of my "brag wall". Pictures don't do it justice.
