Facts

Started fighting in Cedar Falls, Iowa in 1999 while in high school. Contributed significantly to the creation of Nan Belegorn before moving to Ames, Iowa for college.
At Iowa State University, formed Tir Asleen with the help of a few friends. Served as president of the student club for several years and as an informal leader since.
Was heroically knighted for his service to Belegarth in Iowa and to the game as a whole at Oktoberfest 2010 and became the first Knight of Eriador and only the second person in Iowa to gain knighthood.
In further recognition, Sir Par awarded Xipher the honor of becoming a member of the Order of the Shining Tower, a newly-created service award dedicated to those who have made great contributions in the area of realm-building. When compiling the list, Xipher was an obvious choice.
In 2014, launched the Kingdoms of Belegarth national scenario campaign to encourage travel and completion between local realms.
