Pronounced Darah O Lockluhn (He, Him)
Dáire Ó Lochlainn is late-10th century Hiberno-Norse, born 966. Living in the northwest of Ireland, he is one of the many famuli in service to the Columban monastery at Derry. His primary roles are as a labourer in the adjacent monastic holdings, and to care for the pack animals of the Brothers when they travel. Being orphaned into the monastic community at an early age, Dáire can read some Gaelic and Latin, but has neither the knowledge nor skills to write. As an agricultural labourer; he is as likely to be laying a live-hedge, or taking the pigs for pannage, one day, as he is to be helping the Brother apiarist with his bees, the next.
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 Known World.
