10th century Finnish male now residing in Baghdad. I am studying during the Golden Age of Islam and have met many persons from many different backgrounds and ethnicities (much like what we do now with our friends in the SCA). I now incorporate those different ideas and practices into my life and embrace new thoughts, skills, values, etc. The more people I meet, the more I grow and learn not only with skills and knowledge, but as a person. My interests include archery and its instruction, drumming performance and instruction, brewing, thrown weapons and its instruction, and pyrography. Favorite colors: blue, white, black, and gray/silver. Can speak Finnish with about 70-80% accuracy in case scrolls need to be read in that language. Scrolls do not have to match my persona; I like art and I trust all scribes' artistic judgements.
