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, pyrography, and I'm now dabbling in Armored combat to eventually get into Combat Archery. 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.
