A Freehold located in East Pasadena, California, currently petitioning both Dragonspine and Westmarch.

History
The story of Eldritch Hills began in late May 2009, when two experienced Los Angeles-based players decided to expand Amtgard’s small presence in the region by forming a second chapter there.
Over the next few weeks, they and a friend from Inland Ocean plotted the new chapter’s future, all with an eye toward growing in a manner that would not impact the existing LA chapter. They chose a name that would appeal to different players, a different topography of field, and a session time designed to complement rather than compete. They made phone calls and recruited friends. The process culminated on August 6, 2009, when contracts were finally sent to Burning Lands and Dragonspine.
On August 7, 2009, a mere nine hours after the contract was sent, Kurse of the Burning Lands returned an official contract, launching the chapter’s official life with the words “Here is the validated and approved contract for Eldritch Hills. Thanks and good luck.”
On August 8, 2009, the chapter was officially announced at Southern Rebellion to strong enthusiasm. A tongue-in-cheek nickname, chosen by Staccatto to play off the chapter’s heraldry, also became the group’s new rallying cry, as the announcement was greeted with crises of “Twig on Hill”! Later that night, Lothar agreed to join the nascent group as its new champion, thus completing the officer slots.
Over the remainder of that month, the group began holding evening fighter practices to build word of mouth in the area, and later in the month began to supplement this with local advertising.
On August 30, the chapter will hold its grand opening celebration, an event that will feature a tour, games, food, a pie-in-the face fundraiser, and a hell of a lot of ditching.
