In [[1996]] Linden fell into Amtgard when her battletech group, the [[CHD]], became so large that they could no longer play together. The group was composed of high school students from Round Rock, Texas. After talking a bit the kids began looking for an alternative game. The GM of the group, [[Breetai]] had once played Amtgard at a [[park]] called [[Drakenroc]], so the dragoons decided to give the park a chance and went out to it's old location one weekend with their sock covered [[PVC]] [[weapons]] spoiling for a fight. But the park wasn't there any more, having folded due to lack of attendance. And so the third iteration of the park known as 'Drakenroc' was born.

In [[1999]], after several years in the CK  Linden returned to her home state of [[Louisiana]] and played briefly at the [[Duchy]] of [[Crimson Moon]] under the [[Wetlands]]. Spending barely a year abroad, Linden returned to [[Texas]] and joined the [[Duchy]] of [[Tori-Mar]] where she played until it was disbanded briefly in May of [[2007]]. Her last regular park was [[Nocturnis]] in Cedar Park, Tx. Now a days she is mostly found on the internet, or at very random events.

Linden’s first love was fighting, but over time she found that in order to have people to fight; the game has to function properly. So in [[1997]] she began holding local office. Over the next few years Linden spent most of her time in some position or another eventuall she had held every in game office from the park level up. This being a convenient and still challenging way to be involved while she was assembling her brood of three children; [[Quinn]], [[Nicoli]] and [[Genevieve]]. Later on she would add two more, twins Ethan and Eleanor. She was the 24th [[Champion]], the 26th, 28th, and 29th [[Guildmaster of Reeves]];  the 27th [[Regent]], the 30th [[Prime Minister]], and the 33rd [[Monarch]] and the 34th [[GMoK]] of the Celestial Kingdom. She is one of two women in Amtgard to have accomplished this feat ever, and the [[Firsts|first]] person ever to hold all four, or five in the [[CK]]. Linden has been awarded many titles over her tenure including that of [[Defender]] for her stint as the [[first female]] [[Champion]] of the [[CK]].

She also acted as a regular autocrat, running several kingdom events, demos, and classes. With her Co-Autocrat [[Chango]] she ran [[Spring War 2006]]: Yooks Vs the Zooks, based on a popular Dr. Suess book on the escalation of warfare.  The event drew more that 500 people, and put the CK back in the black, and reconfirmed Spring War's status as the largest Amtgard event at the time. During her reign as [[Queen]] of the Celestial Kingdom, Linden went to war with the [[Wetlands]] in the person of the zombie king [[Slyddur]]. Raids were held back and forth, at [[Murky Waters]] and [[Mordengarrd]] culminating in a battle at the following Spring War.

In the later part of her career she spent her time up keeping the old ORK, and wiki, as their administrator.  She also spent a lot of time welcoming new chapters to the game, and coordinating the yearly amtgard audit. Later most of these duties were handed down to her Grand squire [[Tye Dye]]. Together, they were invited to present a keynote address on their report at the Living Games conference, which is an academic conference for larping.

Biography

Heraldry for Linden, image by Alona Twotrees

"Everyone's hero. If she isnt yours, you just dont know her well enough yet." Matthias O'Lachon

In 1996 Linden fell into Amtgard when her battletech group, the CHD, became so large that they could no longer play together. The group was composed of high school students from Round Rock, Texas. After talking a bit the kids began looking for an alternative game. The GM of the group, Breetai had once played Amtgard at a park called Drakenroc, so the dragoons decided to give the park a chance and went out to it's old location one weekend with their sock covered PVC weapons spoiling for a fight. But the park wasn't there any more, having folded due to lack of attendance. And so the third iteration of the park known as 'Drakenroc' was born.

In 1999, after several years in the CK Linden returned to her home state of Louisiana and played briefly at the Duchy of Crimson Moon under the Wetlands. Spending barely a year abroad, Linden returned to Texas and joined the Duchy of Tori-Mar where she played until it was disbanded briefly in May of 2007. Her last regular park was Nocturnis in Cedar Park, Tx. Now a days she is mostly found on the internet particular the A&S Anonymous and Scribal Guild groups, or teaching at events, like the Arts and Sciences Symposium.

Linden’s first love was fighting, but over time she found that in order to have people to fight; the game has to function properly. So in 1997 she began holding local office. Over the next few years Linden spent most of her time in some position or another eventually she had held every in game office from the park level up. This being a convenient and still challenging way to be involved while she was assembling her brood of three children; Quinn, Nicoli and Genevieve. Later on she would add two more, twins Ethan and Eleanor. She was the 24th Champion, the 26th, 28th, and 29th Guildmaster of Reeves; the 27th Regent, the 30th Prime Minister, and the 33rd Monarch and the 34th GMoK of the Celestial Kingdom. She is one of two women in Amtgard to have accomplished this feat ever, and the first person ever to hold all four, or five in the CK. Linden has been awarded many titles over her tenure including that of Defender for her stint as the first female Champion of the CK.

She also acted as a regular autocrat, running several kingdom events, demos, and classes. With her Co-Autocrat Chango she ran Spring War 2006: Yooks Vs the Zooks, based on a popular Dr. Suess book on the escalation of warfare. The event drew more that 500 people, and put the CK back in the black, and reconfirmed Spring War's status as the largest Amtgard event at the time. Since then several other events have eclipsed both the attendance and place of spring war as one of the "Big Three". During her reign as Queen of the Celestial Kingdom, Linden went to war with the Wetlands in the person of the zombie king Slyddur. Raids were held back and forth, at Murky Waters and Mordengarrd culminating in a battle at the following Spring War.

In the later part of her career she spent her time up keeping the old ORK, and wiki, as their administrator.
