Greetings, friend and guest, and welcome to the round house of Siora of the Iceni!
I was born at Venta Icenorum into an aristocratic family, and as is customary to strengthen bonds between families in the tribe, I was sent to be raised by another aristocratic family. My foster-father ensured I was trained in the history and customs of the tribe, and taught how to drive a chariot and use sword and spear. I'm not a 'warrior', but like any Celtic woman I can - and will - fight to protect my home, my man and myself. In time, I will marry into another aristocratic family, thus further strengthing our connections in the tribe. But for now I am free to pursue my own life.
As you wander through my house you will discover places that serve as my homebase for certain activities. In the Courtyard I conduct my social activities here at AncientWorlds and in Celtia. My Library is for my historical and academic pursuits. Finally, in my Study you will find my game playing scores, statistics and artifacts. Thanks for visiting my home!
