Introduction
I attended my first event shortly after I turned 21 which was a weekly fight practice in the Shire of Seareach in the Kingdom of Atlantia. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving, and when I attended my second practice, two weeks later, I had full body and limb armor that I had made and was ready to fight. The armor and my fighting were terrible, but we have grown better together over the years. I attended Sea-Raids and met King Ruslan of the East. When my business in Atlantia was completed, I moved back home to Concordia of the Snows and became very active for many years. As Elspeth Starwatcher would say, "I have certain fond memories." I met my wife Vitalia la Soleil at a local event in Concordia, and together we moved to the Kingdom of Atlantia for a while. Our child Fiammetta di Terra del Sole was born and shortly after, we traveled to Trimaris for University studies. Many years later we have finally returned to the East and settled in the Barony of the Bridge.
Persona
Lord Ælfwine is a Saxon Lord in the year 1067. He fought in support of King Edward the Confessor in Southampton in 1036 and became one of his men when he ascended to the throne back in 1043. He considers this time of restoring Saxon control after years of Danish rule of England to be a great act that he aided in. Now in the midst of the succession debacle that toppled Harald Godwinson, he anachronistically participates in Norman heraldic and tournament traditions to keep what is left of his lands and influence so that he can continue to speak for the populace that he has been entrusted to serve. Despite his dissatisfaction with the foreign rule, he is a staunch monarchist and believes in the power and also the benevolence of the Crown. He has been awarded the Queen's Order of Courtesy which is his most prized recognition.
In Armor
This is what I look like on the field. I'm always happier on the field.
