About
Kaithar Shayr is actually an elvish derived name, Kaithar meaning dragon friend, and Shayr meaning… well I created this name several years ago and I cannot remember what it stands for! I am also known as Rowen in some parts of the web, but unsurprisingly that name is often taken.
So who am I?
I’m 23 years old and am now a Student of Westminster Uni, studying for an MSc in Database Systems. Scarily enough this will be my second degree. My first was an MSci in Astrophysics and Computer Science.
I enjoy Roleplaying, particularly the Fading Suns system (2nd ed NOT the d20 version), Exalted and other WW not so much a fan of d&d as I’ve gotten rather fed up with the d20 system in general. I’ve also taken a big liking to the Dark Herasey RP Game, which is set in the Warhammer 40k universe. I also like to knit, (as you can possibly tell due to the fair amount of knitting related posts I’ve posted) . Other hobbies include computer/console games, and I enjoy a lot of sci-fi & fantasy related books and tv shows. (Buffy, Farscape, BSG, Heroes, G R R Martin to name but a few.)
Yes I will admit to being a Geek, and proud of it thank you.
I am also a volunteer for Librivox, and I’d like to thank the people below for your kind comments about my recordings.
Glad you enjoyed them.
For those with a question about my accent for Librivox, then its, well I guess its a sort of posh London accent. (Although its not how I normally speak, I tend to be a bit more cockney there, I just try to enunciate and speak clearer for LV stuff.
)




I listened to your reading of “Alexander the Great” — you did a fantastic job. Thanks!
I, too, listened to your reading of Alexander- thanks for a great job!

Beautiful voice you have, I’m listening to my first Dickens novel (A Child’s History of England) courtesy of you and LibriVox. It has a soothing and mystical quality to it that goes beyond the usual interest usually communicated through that accent alone, thank you.
I like your voice too! you did a great job.
I’m not a native English speaker and I wish I could know where you are from(I mean in which city you got your accent, mildly British but not so strong as in others). I listen to your recordings mostly to improve my English so you would do me a great favor telling me the city or at least the part of England with such an accent. Thanks, Daniel.
