Sadb ingen Uí Fáeláin
Persona
As Sadb's name suggests, she might be a bit of a shapeshifter. She can usually be found around 10th century Ireland, sometimes as a Norse-Gael living in Waesfjord (Wexford) around the 10th century and at other times as a Leinster-born woman who may be a bean feasa or might just be an innkeeper. Sometimes she manages to jump centuries and masquerades as later-period nobility, but she struggles to maintain this persona for very long. Whatever the period or venue, you can probably find her dancing.
Irish Pronunciation Key:
- Sadb is pronounced “Sive” (saɪv) which rhymes with “drive.” If you want to be extra-period-appropriate, say it more like “scythe.”
- ingen according to SCA tradition is prounced EEN-yen (EEN is pronounced like the English word “in” but with a longer “ee” sound followed by the English word “yen.)
- Uí Fáeláin is pronounced o-FWAY-lawn.
Whereabouts
Sadb currently resides in the canton of Caldrithig, in the Barony of Skraeling Althing.

SCA History
Sadb's first event was Paardenbloem in Spring 2024, after which she stated, “That was fun, but I can't see myself really committing to it.” Then, she discovered dance and Everything Changed. She led her first dance session at the Feast of the Hare in November 2024 and a year later, at Feast of the Hare in November 2025, she was apprenticed to Master Jamie FitzMordain Blackcloak with a focus on teaching dance.
