Downfall

Duke Sir Downfall, of the Inland Ocean, in the Kingdom of Blackspire

”I didn't need that arm, it was just slowing me down!” -Standard Downfall trash-talk on the ditching field.

”Look, I'm 90% bravado, 10% skill. Once you realize THAT... you'll be able to kill me just fine.” -Downfall on his own combat prowess.

"They don't ditch when they swing foam. I know that last sentence didn't seem to make sense; you might have to read it slowly. NO DI-TCH-ING. We actually do that... you know... role playing stuff..." - Staccatto describing a lesser boffur LARP to Downfall.

Biography

Downfall joined Amtgard in 1996 as one of the first members of the Inland Ocean. While he is known for his loud and jovial demeanor on the ditching field, he is also one of the more well travelled politicians in the Northwest. Downfall has served in leadership positions in the Kingdom of the Mystic Seas, Duchy of the Shrouding Mists, and even his home of Inland Ocean. He was one of the original authors and architects of the Principality of the Northern Lights, as well as it's first Prince.

Some not so well known facts about Downfall:
