Lady Siobhra, my story.

    I was born into a humble enough family of the Clan DeWar, which is a Sept of the Clan McNab of Scotland. My mother was a warrior/teacher and she taught the fighting arts on the island of Skye. I myself was raised to be a Pagan Priestess, but I was a bit of trouble at home. My family had tried many times to marry me off, so I ran away. I joined up with some Vikings after they tried to kidnap me as a slave. They too found I was trouble and that it would be better to have me fighting by their side. Slaves that keep killing their masters just don't work out.

    On one our trips we went east to raid, I mean trade, and we "visited" the northern lands of Poland. One of our captives I came to own and later I gave him his freedom. Then I did something even crueler, I married him. Since he was a friend of the King of Poland we took a trip to visit his friend King Chet. That's how I came to be in the Polish court. Later when my husband died (he got very boring) I left with delegation from the House Von Draken.  (My victim, I mean recently deceased husband was a friend of the King, remember).
