Heraldry

Or, a boar's head erased proper atop a mount vert, a chief azure

Pronounced Darah O Lockluhn (He, Him)

Dáire was born in Derry in 966. He was raised by the Brothers of St Columba and has served them in many capacities over the years. Born to an Irish mother and Norse father, Dáire straddles the Hiberno-Norse bridge of late 10^th-century Ireland.

Dáire lives in King's Land between the Barony of Montengarde and the Shire of Ayresgarde, 'guarding' the Pass of Kicking Horses against incursion from Tir Righ. Of late, he has been adopted by the bonny crew in Ayresgarde!

Still finding his feet within the SCA, Dáire very much enjoys partaking in, and delivering, classes as he explores the offerings of the Kingdom and the Knowne Worlde.
