My SCA name is Frauva Svana Másdóttir and my flavor of play is Viking Age Scandinavia. I like to sew things and weave things and embroider things and felt things and brew things and sometimes I make cheese. My first SCA event was in January of 2004 in the Middle Kingdom and it was love at first sight. I have lived in the Middle Kingdom, Atlantia and the East Kingdom, where I currently reside. However, I was formally treatied over as an Atlantian citizen by TRM Eckehard and Jane in the summer of 2022. My home group is listed as Highland Foorde and indeed, my heart is absolutely there.

Svana Másdóttir, 9th century Icelandic
Wait not Svana Mársdóttir?? Yeah, not Mársdóttir. I was surprised too, but it turns out the patrynomic was Már not Márl, and the "r" was dropped in the genitive case and low, am I Másdóttir. But I went like three years thinking there was an "r" in there so there are some places that have the incorrect spelling, such as my email and my social media. Such is the life of an illiterate peasant, what can I say?
