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.

Unit:Clan of the Hydra
  
−
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 invited us to a practice and "forced" us to stay the night to hang out.

House:
  
−
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.

Fighting Since:1992 (forever ago)

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 officers. I was Secretary of Belegarth for close to 2 years.

Fighting Style-Polearms

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.

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.

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.

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.

We became Belegarth Officers and I was Secretary for like, 2 years. Remember that part about being the best Scribe? Exactly.
