Meistres Morgaine Rhys ap Gruffydd, OP Joined the SCA in 1990 in the Barony of Atenveldt. She first became interested in heraldry when the members of her first household asked her to talk to the local heralds on their behalf to help them register names and armory. It was then she met Mistress Helen Jennet, who introduced her both to the world of heraldry and the fun of administrative service in the Society. Despite a brief hiatus in the late 90s, and a few years spent in the East Kingdom in the early 2000s, Morgaine's favorite place in the Known World is the Barony of Atenveldt, which she loves deeply and hopes to always call home, no matter how far she roams.

Estrella War is also very near to her heart. Her first war, indeed her first ever event was Estrella War VI. In 30 years, she has missed just 4 of them. Her first war officially on staff was EWXIII in 1997 as the Grand Court organizer

Motto: Aithnítear cara i gcruatán / A friend is known in hardship.

Married to Lord Mathys von Uberer

Elevated to the Order of the Pelican on September 21, 2019.

Was protege'd to Baroness Helen Jennet of Foxhall OL, OP from 1992-2019

Member of House Foxhall

Persona

Morgaine is a 10th C Irishwoman (with a Welsh name, yes - long story) living near the Viking settlement of Dublin, traveling at times to Iceland and Wales. Ridiculously well traveled for a woman of her time.
