I started fighting in 1992 in [[Amtgard]] in El Paso, Texas. I was 14 and went by the name Alethea Galway O’Westmeath Excalibur. I spent most of my spare time at Gwynne and Aramithris' home talking and learning. I learned how to sew and how to fight. My favorite weapon was a very long pole arm.

After several years and many events I was fighting on a castle wall at a New Mexico renaissance faire when this guy with a shield came to help me fend off our attackers. He turned out to be Sir [[Kyrian]], a crossover from Dagorhir. We became friends and later dated and moved to Illinois.

In the move I switched to Dagorhir full time since there really wasn't any [[Amtgard]] in my area and changed my name to Sorcia. My first Dagorhir event was Ragnarok 14. I met all of [[Kyrian]]'s [[Numenor]] friends and many people from the eastern half of the US. We joined [[Wolfpack]] later that year when [[Orion]] and [[Xooyan]] invited us to a practice and "forced" us to stay the night to hang out.

[[Kyrian]] and I moved to Bloomington, IL and were 2 of the original tenants of the now infamous Peirce House. I became the Scribe for [[Wolfpack]] and held the position for 2 years. It was a very difficult time for Dagorhir as tensions rose over the contract dispute. As a result Belegarth was hatched and [[Armageddon]] was planned. Malcar and I planned it for mid 2001.

[[Kyrian]] and I were married just before [[Armageddon]] 1. We moved between Bloomington and Chicago a few times but were still members of [[Wolfpack]]. We both joined [[Wolfguard]] which I quit after a few years because it wasn’t quite right for me. We also both became Belegarth [[BoD|officers]]. I was [[Secretary]] of Belegarth for close to 2 years.

In early 2008 the Peirce House era came to an end and we gave up the house for good. For 7 years we were able to keep the house stocked with [[Wolfpack]] people. [[Kyrian]] and I decided to move to Madison, Wisconsin.

In April 2008 I joined the realm of [[Rhûn]] and the unit [[Clan of the Hydra]]. For the first time in a long time I focused all of my energy on my unit. At [[Oktoberfest]] of 2008 I became one of the first Subalterns in [[Clan of the Hydra]].

Story time!- I started in El Paso, Texas way too young at the tender age of 14. There I became the boss seamstress I am now and learned how to chump fools with a sweet spear and sometimes glaive.

His name was Sir Kyrian and we quickly decided it would be nice to date and move to the center of all foam fighting together. (Illinois)

We were fighting in Dag at the time and at Rag (ha! that rhymed!) 14, I met all of the Numenorian hooligans that Sir Kyrian fought with as well as some awesome Eastern Dag fighters. Myself and Sir Kyrian were later kidnapped by Wolfpack. More specifically Orion and Xooyan made us fight and stay at their place.

I was knighted at [[Oktoberfest]] 2008. It was a culmination of so many years devoted to foam fighting. It is the highest honor I could have ever hoped for and I am humbled to use the title of “Sir”. I do not use “Dame” or “Lady” because I don’t believe they are equivalent and Belegarth society has progressed beyond the gender barrier.

We absconded with all the skill to Bloomington and started the Peirce House. I was the Scribe for Wolfpack (best scribe ever). Dag decided to implode and Belegarth was born from the bloody, smoking ruins.

Sir Kyrian and I got married just before the first 'Geddon (it was pretty sweet, but you probably weren't invited) and moved around a lot afterwards.(Mostly between fighting communities) We were in the Wolfguard for a time, but I decided that it wasn't my thing and left. We became Belegarth Officers and I was Secretary for like, 2 years. Remember that part about being the best Scribe? Exactly.

I have started taking retainers and squires. These people are extraordinary and I am so lucky to be able to help them along their own path in Belegarth. My current Squire is [[Yuri]] who started squiring in Spring 2011.

Basically, I could tell Hydra you were cool enough for the unit...or not. At the very same event, all my hard work and dedication paid off, as I had finally been knighted.

Story time!- I started in El Paso, Texas way too young at the tender age of 14. There I became the boss seamstress I am now and learned how to chump fools with a sweet spear and sometimes glaive. A few years later, here I am defending a sweet wall at a Ren Faire when this totally jacked dude with a shield joins me in smacking some noobs around. His name was Sir Kyrian and we quickly decided it would be nice to date and move to the center of all foam fighting together. (Illinois) We were fighting in Dag at the time and at Rag (ha! that rhymed!) 14, I met all of the Numenorian hooligans that Sir Kyrian fought with as well as some awesome Eastern Dag fighters. Myself and Sir Kyrian were later kidnapped by Wolfpack. More specifically Orion and Xooyan made us fight and stay at their place.

We absconded with all the skill to Bloomington and started the Peirce House. I was the Scribe for Wolfpack (best scribe ever). Dag decided to implode and Belegarth was born from the bloody, smoking ruins. Malcar and I planned the first Armageddon for mid 2001 and it was going to be literally the most fun ever had in one place. Sir Kyrian and I got married just before the first 'Geddon (it was pretty sweet, but you probably weren't invited) and moved around a lot afterwards.(Mostly between fighting communities) We were in the Wolfguard for a time, but I decided that it wasn't my thing and left. We became Belegarth Officers and I was Secretary for like, 2 years. Remember that part about being the best Scribe? Exactly.

We gave up the Peirce House for good in 2008 after 7 years of putting all the skill in one place and moved to Madison, Wisconsin. (We were bribed with cheese and excellent fights) There we joined Rhun and the Clan of the Hydra.I poured much love into the unit and at Okfest '08 I became one of the first subalterns of Hydra.
