About

An ordinary traveler, torn from the mundane world into Amtgardia by her husband Hunter NewBuddy, Obscura bumbled her way through trying to find the path she was destined for.

Obscura Unloved has resided in the Everliving Woods in the Kingdom of Winter's Edge since June of 2018, is formerly of Iron Springs of Winter's Edge (2017-2018) and Sunfall Abbey (2015-2016) in the Kingdom of The Wetlands.

Obscura's passion is combining leadership, service, and A&S through artist encouragement, teaching, trying different competition methods and finding ways to get those who aren't as noticed as they should be into the spotlight.
