Sadhbh inghean Uí Chonghail has been floating around the SCA since 1989, flitting from Kingdom to Kingdom until returning to the island of her birth within Kingdom Caid, and the Barony of Western Seas. Committing herself in August, 2014 Sadhbh quickly became a contributing member of the Western Seas.

Sadhbh is a crafty sort, skilled in needle work both by hand and machine. Her interests range from embroidery to cross stitch to quilting and even beading (both fine jewelry and clothing). Also in love with communications and sharing her passions, Sadhbh brings her modern skills in writing, editing, web development, publishing, and marketing into service. She has particular interest in her cultural and ancestral heritage from France and Ireland - specifically Northern Ireland (circa 1600, Antrim, Down, Armagh, Tyrone and Derry).

Latest News

January 2019: Sadhbh has wandered from her home in Western Seas and has landed within the territory of Starkhafn. She is currently deciding whether to stay put or move onward to other realms.

Persona

Sadhbh's birth date is Beltane of 1475 (15th century). She is Irish with (perhaps) a touch of French as her father is unknown. She carries her maternal grandfather's name, Conghal. (...more to come...)
