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 him his residing in the Wetlands near Bloodwyrm Haven. He enjoys A&S competitions, class battlegames, sparring with his friends, and 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 on the battlefield. He plays guitar, violin, mandolin, and ukulele 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 of the Wetlands.
Arathamus served as a provincial PM for a tumultuous reign where he had to deal with the fastest park growth in the history of Bloodwyrm Haven and less than ideal behavior by many park members. After repeatedly experiencing hostilities he decided to move to Granite Sypre at the end of his term.
