Caitrina inghean Aindriasa, (ka-TREE-na in-yen ahn-DRAH-sha) was born in Inverness Scotland in the year 1273. She had one sibling, a brother named Cairbre MacAnndra (MacAnndra meaning son of Andrew)... Unfortunately Cairbre perished in a guerrilla raid against English officials while travelling to Avoch castle so that he could join Andrew de Moray in the uprising against the English in 1297. Caitrina received her Award of Arms in March of AS 39 (AD 2005).

Caitrina currently holds the office of "Sable Loat Pursuivant", the herald for the Barony of Lions Gate. Heralds keep track of people names and devices or "coats of arms" (such as the one above), as well as ranks and protocol, ceremonies, courts, and making announcements. Previously, Caitrina has been the Barony's Armourial Heraldry deputy (specifially in charge of names & devices), as well as Baronial Pied Piper; the office in charge of arranging and holding children's activities at our events.


Roxanne Todd was born in Halifax , NS , a month early (her Mom didn't know she was having twins) at the same time her Dad was in Stadacona Navy Hospital having his tonsils out. They told her Dad that her Mom had twins but not what sex, so he phoned the Infirmary to ask. Roxanne's Mom had to walk down the hall to the nurses station and after she told him what she had he said " I can't talk because my throat is sore". Her Mom's answer to that was "at least you don't have to sit on your throat". This explains some of Roxanne's sense of humor.  She’s lived all of her life in various places across Canada (Navy Brat) but the majority of it in BC.  After doing everything from short order cook, to telemarketer, to janitor, she entered the world of Logistics and Administration for the Federal Government where she found her niche… in triplicate, date stamped and filed in two different locations.  Presently she’s an Exhibit Custodian for the RCMP’s Forensic Laboratory Services in Vancouver , BC . Geeks get all the cool jobs.
