 +Arnora is also the Sponsor and Principal of a 14thC tournament company, the Company of Our Ladys Heart (name registered with the Laurel Sovereign of Arms 19 December 2019), but the official chartering and launching of that company got deferred by a stupid for-realz Plague. She hopes to get back to that project Sometime Real Soon Now.

 +===== Associations (that we can publicly discuss) =====
 +Arnora was originally apprenticed to Duchess Caitlin Stewart (1993ish-1997ish) in the earliest days of the Hrogn, then later took up with notorious Norsewoman Visakona [[people:ragnheithr_thorbjarnardottir|Ragnheithr_Thorbjarnardottir]], managing to slide right into a green belt the very day Heithr was Laureled. Though briefly suspended over a period of mutual inactivity, both have recently (AS 58/2023) exhibited questionable wisdom in renewing the wayward-apprentice/much-put-upon-Laurel relationship. Arnora is already shopping for a shiny new green belt, because of course she is--it's all about the accessories with her.
