Wilhelm Meis
Guten Tag!
I am Wilhelm Meis, born in A.S. XXX, in the Ansteorran barony of Wiesenfeuer. I moved to the Shire of Crystal Mynes in Calontir in A.S. XXXII, and lived there until A.S. XLII. During my time in Calontir, I participated in many local and kingdom-level events, attended several Lillies wars, received my Award of Arms from TRM Siridean and Sile in A.S. XXXIX, and was inducted into the Order of the Leather Mallet by TRM Martino II and Ariel II in A.S. XL for my work in Toys and Games. I moved to the Stronghold of Battle Rock in the Palatine Barony of the Far West late in A.S. XLIII and served briefly as the local Minister of Arts and Sciences, and I currently serve as Seneschal and Web Minister of Battle Rock. I enjoy heavy fighting, leatherworking, woodworking, woodcarving, bardic arts, brewing and vinting, cooking, heraldry and toys and games, particularly Chess and Hnefatafl. I am working on getting some rapier gear to start learning light fighting as well. I fight for the honor of my lady Adelheyd.

Achievement of arms
Though the SCA does not officially recognize the use of helmets and mottoes in heraldry, this is how my registered arms would have been drawn in rolls of arms in my period (late 14th century Germany):
The motto is medieval German for "Justice is my shield, the Heavens my helm".
