Dustyn McGroyne one of the 5 founders of the Clan McGroyne.
Dustyn camps in Clan McGroyne-Highlander of which he is
the Camp Lord. He lives in the Barony of Stierbach in the kingdom of Atlantia. That's northern Virginia for you non
SCA-dians.
Dustyn also may go by the name:
Edmund de Wight
(My more proper period name used officially)
Never call me Dusty though, thats my Tuchux namesake - a very cool dude.
Turns out that although the name Dustyn McGroyne was a joke playing on Dust in my Groin since he was in the middle
of a period lacking female companionship when the clan was formed, the first name does have actual validity:
Dustyn comes from: Torsten
From the Old Norse name Þórsteinn, which meant "Thor's stone" from the name of the Norse
god Þórr (THOR) combined with steinn "stone".
There was actually a King Þórsteinn Randr listed as the King of Scotland who died in 874
Two names Dustyn has used in the SCA in the past are Prospero Corso and Mylor the Bear. Those names have not been used
for MANY years.
DUSTYN'S LINKS:
Dustyn commands the Company of the Ewe Boat rapier unit.
He is a Rapier Fighter, a Target Archer and a Spearman occasionally also playing as a Combat Archer.
Dustyn is married to Euliquia and is quite happy. He's not willing to trade her no matter how many sheep you offer.
Dustyn also serves as the head of the Church of Ewe. Let him bless you with the holy nectar
of McGroyne.
Under most conditions he is a happy man who pursues the Combat Arts, Drumming, Alcohol making and general silliness.
He dresses as a normal Celt or Viking of the 12th century (pay no attention to the photo above for my clothing - I
dress better now).
He is also a member of the households of Dunn Phalin, Shadowfire and Bork, fine people to party with or just sit and
enjoy life. Once upon a time he camped with Argent Company and still has friends there and is considered a close friend
of the crew of the good ship Raven Spittle. Most households in the Pennsic Swamp know Dustyn.
Dustyn joined the SCA in 1980 and has been involved at some level ever since. An old fart from the Pennsic Swamp, who
now lives up top to be near the battlefield. Dustyn came back to Pennsic in 1993 after a long absence at which point
the McGroynes came to be.
Dustin likes to make flavored alcohol and is a member of the Atlantian Brewer's Guild but too lazy to document and enter
competitions so far.
