Margaret ingen Domnaill is an artisan living in Starkhafn. She was the 12th Bard of Caid for Queen Bridget and Queen Tahira during 2017 for her original composition. She is also the head of the Starkhafn Scriptorium and reinstated the Bard of Starkhafn competition, taking place each year at Starkhafn Anniversary. As Bard in 2017, she began the tradition of the Regional Bardic Challenge at the Open Arms Bardic Hall. She is interested in calligraphy and illumination, music, brewing, archery, rapier, silent heraldry, and embroidery.
Persona
Margaret was born in Scotland in the 10th century and married a farmer-landowner with a small estate in the lowlands. She became a widow when her husband was killed in a clan dispute, so she is effectively the lady of the manor with all the rights and privileges of a landowner. As is fitting a lady of her station, she is musically skilled and a supporter of the arts, but also interested in calligraphy and illumination, brewing, archery, rapier, and embroidery. She later remarried Randulf Greenwall and travels with him, his knight Conrad Breakring, and his brother Wade Greenwall.
