Greetings! My name is Nadbroicc inigena Druisten (pronounced vaguely like NODbrick INNYyena DRISTden), aka Mouse. And I'm a harper who is relearning the wire-strung Gaelic harp, or clairseach! And I'm an old used herald who's looking to learn more! AND I would like to learn archery! XD Persona-wise, I am a retired 5th c. Pictish warrior of the Cat tribe from Inse Catt (the Shetlands) who once raided as far as Dal Riada, and earned the nickname an Luch (the Mouse) because I am wee but fierce. I content myself these days with music and relearning to play my wee harp. SCA-wise, I'm a Companion of the Order of the Maunche (grant-level East Kingdom arts & sciences award; mine was earned in "Diverse Arts"). I currently live in the Barony of Nordskogen, Kingdom of Northshield, but I have lived in Caid, the East, the West, the Outlands when it was a principality of Atenveldt, the Middle, Meridies, and Drachenwald when it was a protectorate/principality of the East Kingdom. Yes, I am very well-travelled! I have been playing in the SCA since AS X, when I was known as Ommadan (names were a different beast back then XD). That makes me a bit of a geezer, but hey, I own that.

I have dabbled in a lot of things over the years -- scribery, heraldry (which I'm looking to get back into!), costuming, among other arts and sciences (I even fancied being a fighter back in the day when there were maybe 5 female fighters in the entire SCA — a near-fatal car accident and the resulting TBI ended that dream). But my present focus is in the musical arts, specifically the wire-strung Gaelic harp. I am a long-distance student of Mistress Tangwistel Telynores (Telynor), a harp Laurel in the West Kingdom, and look to continue my studies here in Nordskogen with several mundane scholars of the instrument.
