First joining the SCA through The College of St Aldhelm in Politarchopolis, Portia has since been an active member in a number of Baronies in Lochac including Ynys Fawr, Rowany and now Stormhold. For the last two years she was resident in the central part of the West Kingdom (Province of the Mists), where she expanded her knowledge (and love) of Norse costume, and started an Early Period / Viking fashion trend with Mistress Dagmaer nHvassa. She has the distinction of being the only Lochacian Queen of the West (reigning with Duke Uther) and was granted her County in AS (XXXVII). Her current project is working with a number of people on expanding the Dark Age Renaissance in Lochac.
