A defunct Freehold once located in Griswold, Connecticut and prior to that in Willimantic, Connecticut.
Heraldry
The original heraldry was a green field with a bend dexter gold and a bend sinister silver. Where the bends would have crossed they were broken letting the green show through symbolizing the lost crossroads.
History
The Shire was founded in the late 90s by Harmast and Robert the Addled after they had visited Goldenvale. Although it briefly peaked at five active members it declined and went inactive before resurfacing a couple of years later for a brief time.
In 2006 Jinkaze moved to the area and contacted Harmast who had in the interim moved closer to the center of the state and tried to found Odogond. Jinkaze decided to restart the Crossroads moving its center to Griswold. Jinkaze's run, based on the ORK records, was the most successful run the Crossroads ever had.
Rumor holds that Harmast hopes one day someone will start a successful Connecticut chapter that will revive the name of the Crossroads.
