Biography

Alona started playing amtgard in 2001, in Galesburg, IL at the now defunct shire of Sawney Freehold Shire under Golden Plains which changed its name Forsaken Lakes, and spent some time under Rising Winds. She was one of the 7 founding members, and first regent of that chapter. Later she moved to the Chicago area and played at the now defunct Shadow's Home under Burning Lands in Aurora, IL. Then she convinced the people of the now defunct Loch V'Naer which was at one point known as Oakshire in Chicago to merge with Shadow's Home. Then played with North Haven in Schamburg, IL and then changed parks to help out Fiery Nights in Waukeegan, IL. Then she moved to Phoenix Tears under Rising Winds in Springfield, IL. Then she has moved out of Illinois to Florida, and has played at many chapters there. Including Falling Fire.
