Uranaga, sparring with fellow Eldritch Hills members in August 2009.
Biography
Uranaga appeared quite suddenly on Amtgard's doorstep in July of 2008, materializing at a Saturday session of the shire of Crimson Sanctum. Most people are still unsure as to how he got there. For that first month, his commitment and attendance were spotty.
In August 2008, all of that changed. Inspired by his first major Amtgard event (Northern Invasion), Uranaga become a regular attendee at the Sanctum. Very quickly, his enthusism led to time in office. In September 2008, he was elected Chancellor. In December 2008, he was re-elected Chancellor. In March 2009, he was elected Monarch. These months saw a period of rapid growth in resources and reputation for the young group, culminating in the group's May application for Barony status.
That supposedly happy event, however, revealed a deep division between his goals and the goals of several core members of the group. Due to this, Uranaga began channeling his excess time in a different direction: he began working on Principality-level projects such as a Westmarch publicity initiative, Southern Rebellion, and a Westmarch fundraiser; he began taking the fighting aspect of the game seriously; and he began planning to launch a new chapter.
In August 2009, Uranaga and his co-founder Morrza announced the new chapter of Eldritch Hills at Southern Rebellion. He was also the recipient of a Baronet title for his work for both Crimson Sanctum and the Principality.
Going forward, he has high hopes for the future of Amtgard in Los Angeles.
