Ruaidri The True
Associated to Place: Celtia > articles -- by * Katlyne MacRoth (78 Articles), General Article
I am Ruaidri Cruithni. I have seen 18 summers.

My trade is fine metalwork, in gold, silver, copper and bronze. I make torcs, bracelets, pins, brooches, in lost wax and fine filigree. I also make fancy trims for horse trappings and chariots. I can also do the heavier black-smithing like my brother in an emergency, though I am not as strong as he, so a day of that work is too much for me.

I enjoy my work, and running my pub, the Mull of Cean Tir. It gives me great pleasure to serve my friends, and with them to listen to visiting seanachies and bards. Of an evening we often have music and dancing there. And my cook and friend, Gruoch, makes some of the best meals I have ever tasted. My sister-in-law is an accomplished spinner and weaver, and she makes clothing for me in bright colours, my favourites being red and green.

I am a hunter, and have yet to return without something for the pot or spit. I am also a fair fisherman, and have been known to bring home enough big salmon or trout to feed most of the village. I have been trained as a warrior, but that I do not like. I will fight if it is needed, but prefer to follow more peaceful pursuits.
