Elevated 25 June , 2011 (A.S. 46), by Their Royal Majesties, Arch & Runa




Greetings fellow traveler; please take your ease and allow me to introduce myself. My name in the Society is Michael McCay. I began my journey in the year A.S. 34 (1999) in the Shire of Mistig Waetru in the lands of Northshield, which at the time was a Principality of the Middle Kingdom. I suppose my true journey began 4 years earlier when I first picked up a blade and began studying the art of defence from our collegiate cousins, but that is another story. I spent my autumns, winters, and falls in that land, learning the sciences, the art of the Rapier and making life long friends; my summers were spent in the south of Pentamere where I honed my skills with a blade and traveled the land. After 8 years of this arrangement I settled in the Riding of Hawkland Moor in south eastern Pentamere. Living within the Barony of Northwoods but also neighboring the Barony of Roaring Wastes, I have become involved in activities within both baronies and view myself as a friend and servant to both. In A.S. 45 (2010) my betrothed, Lady Caitilin Logan, and I married and began settling into our life together. I look forward to learning your story as well; please, won’t you introduce yourself?
