Biography

A traveling bard and mercenary, Arathamus's persona hails from France by way of countless localities. On one of his voyages, he got shipwrecked and washed ashore in Amtgardia. This resulted in his residing in the Wetlands near Bloodwyrm Haven. He enjoys A&S competitions, class battlegames, sparring with his friends, being helpful to others off the battlefield, and annoying to his enemies on the battlefield.

His colors are green and purple, and he can usually be seen thusly garbed and wielding flatblades and his signature heraldric small shield.

He plays stringed instruments for court events, A&S tourneys, and bardic circles (and sometimes plays recorder just for the laughs). He also works in woodburning, chainmaille, garb, leatherworking, foam-smithing, and random forms of art with various degrees of success. He learns what he can, and eagerly shares what he does know with others. His personal goals are to become the best Bard he can be on and off the field, and to become a great artist on par with kingdom level artistic leaders. He is happily married to Edune. Arathamus Moved to the Golden Plains in summer of 2017, and hopes to continue to further his art and stick skills, as well as help his company the War Dragons expand and grow.

• Arathamus has made many shields and carries enough Amt-legal weapons to equip a squad of angry nerds to every park and event he attends.

• As a result of his having a sewing machine, his company has given him the unofficial title of "stitch bitch" of the War Dragons. Arathamus just sighs and still makes their garb.
