Amnara
Amnara the Savage, the real story
Amnara the Savage is a Bard and wandering poet. There are tin whistles in her hat.
Amnara is one of The Bards of KeyPoynt who were named the Bardic Champions of Midhaven in 2008 and again in 2010, and representing the Bards, Amnara became the 2008 Bardic Champion of Shittimwoode (now known as Thornwold). This apparently makes her the long-awaited "Bride of Bunny" in the prestigious line of "Bunny Bards." Amnara received her Award of Arms at Ursulmas in 2010, making her the Armiger Bard of KeyPoynt.
Amnara was first introducted to our fair Society at Ursulmas in 2004, then again in 2005, followed up by her first camping event- 40th Year Celebration! She was thoroughly enchanted and has been attending events throughout An Tir since. As a member of the Towne of KeyPoynt, she naturally fell into the role of The Bards of KeyPoynt along with her brother Reyus and her sister Gwyneth Kendrick.
Amnara is also the proud mother of a good-hearted, fun loving youth, Hellalove, who has all the makings of a fine wee bard, performing his Bardic debut at The First Bardic War.
And for those interested...
The Somewhat Bardly Tale of Amnara the Savage
Amnara was born in Eastern Scotland in a small group of forest-dwelling folk who claimed to be druids.
Amnara was taught many different skills, most of which were unavailable to women of her status, but the forward-thinking group encouraged her in every aim. Once she reached adulthood, she made up her mind to strike out on her own and see what she could of the world. Amnara bid her forest family a fond farewell, and boldly made her way to the nearest large town.
Unused to the ways of townfolk, she dedicated herself to learning and adapting and eventually (as is often the way with Bards) marketing. She made a living by entertaining at local taverns, performing the dances she had learned, the stories she devised, and singing her own songs. She gained a small following, and earned enough to keep herself fed and housed, and eventually crossed paths with the members of the wonderful traveling Towne of KeyPoynt.
She promptly declared herself to be 'home' and the rest is history.
