Challange on the Field of Honor for Lady Sariah
| 81. | At kveldi skal dag leyfa | The day must be praised in the evening, | |
| konu er brennd er | a woman, when she is cremated, | ||
| mæki er reyndr er | a sword, when it is proven, | ||
| mey er gefin er | a maiden, when she is given away, | ||
| ís er yfir kømr | ice, when it is crossed, | ||
| öl er drukkit er | ale, when it is drunk. |
-Sayings of the Havamal
I sing praise of my wife, a woman of unsurpassed beauty, indeed the earth’s bones in face of adversity. Of unending kindness she, of remarkable intellect, renowned wisdom, and skill within one hand surpassing two of other women. Her strength in facing the undeniable with honor and kindness will inspire me to the end of my days.
When the wisest diviners and brewers of potions said that she would pass from midgard within a fortnight, she did survive two, when they claimed hours, she lasted 5 more days.
She succumbed to complications of cancer on March 30th 2009 of the common reckoning, at age 29.
These are my words, I challenge any person who would deny them, any who would test my right to speak them, or who would wish to strive on the field of honor to celebrate her life . Meet me upon the Hazeled field set for this purpose at the anniversary of the Barony of the Angels (Los Angeles) in the Kingdom of Caid, Where I will endeavor to meet the blades of no less than one hundred warriors upon the twelfth day of September, 2009 of the common reckoning.
Be girded and prepared for combat under the banner of the raider ship Jormundgandr und Yggdrasil, (a field purpure, a dragon, en annulo, arrayed about a tree argent). A token of the day will be granted to all warriors who aid this endeavor to do honor to one of such strength, taken so young.
For further information, see Angels Anniversary 2009
I am,
- Second to Sir Augustine von Freiburg, Captain General of the armies of Caid.
- September 2, 2009

From Gabrielle nicChlurain
Their Excellencies John and Flavia and I are deeply saddened to report that Lady Sariah of Yggdrasil House departed our world early this morning after a long and valiant battle with cancer. She was one of the bright lights of the Barony known for her beautiful needlework, quick wit and sense of humor, and herbal knowledge. We know that everyone will rally together to assist her husband Lord Owain ap Gwyllim Pengryth and her daughter Cassandra of Yggdrasil House at this time.
Lord Owain has asked that we withhold our condolences for a day or two until the family can collect themselves and take care of what must be done to send Lady Sariah on her journey.
With deep sorrow, Baroness Gabrielle
From Morgaine FitzStephen and Jason Thomas the Wanderer
Lady Sariah was one of the brightest, creative and sweetest ladies Jason and I ever had the privilege to know, and one of the most brave ferocious fighters this Kingdom has ever seen, though her battle was not upon the SCA tourney field, but that of life, and for life.
Her loss is deeply felt.
Our condolences to her family and other friends, for whom we will be here when they feel it is time to reach out.
From Natalya de Foix & Jean-Christophe
It is a tragedy when we lose any of our number, but in particular when that person is so young with so much life yet to experience. Hopefully, our thoughts and prayers will reach across the miles to Lord Owain and Cassandra and add to the comfort we know they will receive from friends and family in Angels and in the SCA. Lady Sariah was indeed a fighter and we know that her spirit will continue to shine.
From Cormac Mór
My condolences to Owain and Cassie, and to their household. Saria was such a wonderful person and a friend to all; her absence will be felt throughout the kingdom, for some time to come. While sad for such a great loss, I am glad that she's finally at peace, and undoubtedly in a better place.
Jared Alexandre Blaydeaux
We knew it was coming, yet it's painful nonetheless. Such a light has left the world that we are all diminished, but take some small joy in having known her.
She travels now in bright company, on a journey we can only imagine. May her journey thrive.
From Sarah Telyn
Allan and I would also like to express our condolences. We never got to know Lady Sariah as well as we would have liked, but my recollection of her was that she was always a lady in every way, and Allan and I both send our greatest sympathy to Owain and Cassie (and the rest of Sariah's family as well).
From Rik
As well, please accept the condolences of the members of Suligowski's Regiment. Our wings will guide her on her journey 'home'. Let us take a moment of silence for her memory....
