History
the beginning
Beathag of Aberdeenshire was born in a home that didn't broker great lots of fanfare. It was a longhouse in the Aberdeenshire that was full of generations that spoke the Gaelic of the Highlands and the Norse of the old Conquerors. There were dark heads and light heads, old and young. She was born the second eldest out of four children and by the time of her birth her father was gone. It suffices to say that the family was known for a thing. Everyone is known for something They were ship builders who still put in the knotwork of old ancestors and dragonheads into the prow. They were smiths who fashioned good swords with bare hands.
Amhlaihd was the man she called father, Murieall was her mother. Between the two of them the children wanted for nothing. There were two with dark hair, and two with blonde.
Beathag's head would be the first thing that give her a spark of noteriety in the longhouse, because it was like spun gold from the day she was born. Her eyes were said to be such a vivid green, the only thing to compare it to was a field in the zenith of summer or an emerald stone. As she grew, she not only had a Dragonship man's face, but their height!
Aberdeen, in the Aberdeenshire, was a royal burgh of His Majesty. He kept therein a hunting lodge, and it being by the sea business was profitable. They were not rich but were not poor. Comfort was a rare thing but it was had. There were fisherfolk, seafolk, hunters, smiths, and all manner of people to talk to. There were surrounding clans and the merchant from Edinburgh to patron.
