Persona Biography

Born in Northumbria near the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in the year 650, Eowyn learned to read and write from the fathers of the island. She ran away with a bard, but after she was left a widow, she eventually became a scribe at Lindisfarne. She has a carved amber dragon that others name when distinguishing her from the other Eowyn who lives not far away. She left/will leave this amber drake to her granddaughter, also named Eowyn. She, in turn, leaves it to her daughter, and so on. The last Eowyn was heard from shortly after 1600, in the New World, about to embark on a trek through the deserts of New Mexico.

SCA Biography

Eowyn first found the SCA at LACon, the World Science Fiction Convention in Los Angeles, in 1972. She returned to her home area of al-Barran, Outlands, Atenveldt, where she participated mostly through the UNM fencing club and the Albuquerque Science Fiction Society. Moved to Freehold of the Great River, Outlands, Atenveldt, where she started training as an SCA fighter. Moved to Barony of Angels, Caid, in 1975, and became a founding member of the canton of Lyonesse (soon to be Lyondemere) in July 1975. Has remained resident in Lyondemere ever since.
