Biography
First appearance was at Sir McFadden's first coronation event (Dec 2000) in Tanglewood Forest after a brief introduction to Amtgard by Infamy.
His favorite recollection of the coronation event that ensured his continued service and participation to the club was the ambiance. Showing up in only a modified graduation gown as wizard garb, his experience at the event was magical. The candle-lit feast safely nestled within the warm confines of a 100 person tent made for excellent memories. He found himself sitting at a table of disgruntled Shadow Legion Saracens waiting for hot water to reach their table. Powdered cider isn't all too palatable without it you see. Sutra decided to lend a hand and found the meager fire that had been setup to heat water a gallon at a time. He proceeded to carry a 5 gallon Igloo and managed to water a good portion of the populace including the high table. With this act, Sutra was called to sit next to the incoming monarch for a meet and greet. Here, Sutra realized, was home indeed.
-Trivia: Sutra originally signed-in and introduced himself as Il-Shadiq Fahar at his first event! The name eventually fell to the wayside and Sutra Bahuas was born. The rest is history.
Sutra's home park was Midnight Sun in Garland, Texas from 2000 to 2008. He went on to spearhead Artus Pass as Dallas' only Sunday park in June of 2009 with the help of extremely dedicated brethren such as Eniad Norreh and Torgas/Lily McGregor. Artus Pass is steadily growing and anticipates great success in the coming months.
The Texas chapter of Morgorach was Sutra's first battle company affiliation. It was here that he learned that a great company is cultured through social gatherings outside of Amtgard. Sutra was a Morgorach member for about a year and a half before it's local founder had to disband the group. Sutra remained a free spirit until June 2007 when he finally accepted the proud duty of wearing Sable Pride Black and Silver. He's never looked back since.
Sutra is best known for his addiction/dedication to Amtgard History. He scoured as many resources as he could and collected it all into one ambitious archive. With the gracious help of select Amtgarders who opened their archive vaults to him, he meticulously digitized a plethora of historical documents that otherwise would have been forgotten.
Sutra also provided 4 reigns worth of kingdom newsletters, both in print and digital format. Comparatively, the Emerald Hills had last seen a successive run of newsletter during the 1989-1990 and 1997-1998 reigns.
On a more amusing note, Sutra spoofed kingdom concerns and stereotypes under the pen name The Emerald Denouncer 4 the Emerald Hills better known as TED4EH. Here, he compiled 'smack' style humor into a 2 page rag and even enjoyed a short print run of a comic strip. Many will agree, this 'poor excuse at smack' was a sad attempt at what had been in the past, refined as an art form by much more sophisticated contemporaries. Regardless, Sutra has a blast bringing a little humor to the then 'viper pit' of the EH forums.
In 2008, the world of Amtgard was blessed by the laborious fruit of a slew of Amtgarders who poured blood, sweat, and dirty thoughts into what is now known as the Babes of Amtgard Calendar. Sutra had posed the question on E-Sam, and like wildfire, the project was off and running. Sir TarKhan Kane was the creative and photography director, and Sutra pretty much just got everyone to communicate and made sure the process didn't stall out and lose momentum. Huzzah!
Now runs the travelling merchant Shoppe: The Prestige with his constant companion Erra.
