a Duchy in the Principality of Westmarch, located in Rohnert Park, CA.
Contents
History
Crimson Wood was founded in 2002 by a consortium of Amtgard devotees, including, among others, Keluric Tryst, Gwendair Tryst, Torbjorn, Cedric Humm, and Grix. The land grew to a Barony under the supervision of the kingdom of the Burning Lands, but has since joined Westmarch in September of 2007. At that time, the land also left BL for Dragonspine, in accordance of the protocols set forth by said kingdom for the principality's creation, and was also promoted to Duchy.
General Information
The Duchy of Crimson Wood is fortunate to have the use of a fairly well-tended municipal park for its field days. (It does, however, get rather muddy in some parts in even faintly damp weather--dress accordingly.) Activities generally begin with a few rounds of ditching and then move to a wide variety of battlegames, ranging from jugging to treeball to capture-the-flag, and of course generally including at least one standard-class shatter battle. For the more energetic (and thus generally younger) citizens, the day often ends with chaos-res/kill-your-killer games or even occasionally Calvinball.
Crimson Wood features a wide age range of remarkably enthusiastic citizens and a healthy band of helpful, invaluable Color-class participants. It also is home to one of the largest attendee populations in the area, which prompted its recent promotion to Duchy level, and which comprises a sizable portion of the citizens of the newly-formed Principality of Westmarch.
Crimson Wood also traditionally hosted the Feast of Mars interland event each September for a number of years, but it has been relocated to more southerly climes in recent years.
Crimson Wood had a scenario in 2007 year where everyone was in a bar and the mead was poisoned so we all got drunk and silly. It was our youngest teens who did the best impression of drunken debauchery. We ended up fighting our own guard AND
an enraged lizardman; during this time we also learned that Soulong can kill far too many people with Lightning Bolts in small spaces.
Since then, Crimson Wood has seen a fairly considerable infestation of Goblins--so much so that two groups have taken up a martial grudge against one another. To wit, these are the Goblin House and Clan Gruk. In a perhaps confusingly-similar light, the home-grown Order of the Elements group (of humans) has found a rival in the Brotherhood of Azor. With all this conflict, it's no wonder we have battlegames!

Directions
Field days at Crimson Wood generally begin at 11AM (give or take a hour) on Saturdays, at Eagle Park in the E-section of Rohnert Park, located south of Santa Rosa in lovely Sonoma County, California.
<googlemap version="0.9" lat="38.356616" lon="-122.69071" zoom="14"> 38.356378, -122.690524 </googlemap>
To get there, take the 101 Fwy. to the Rohnert Park Expressway exit and head east. After passing several traffic lights, one will come across Country Club Dr., upon which one should make a left turn. Several streets later, Eleanor Ave. will be encountered at a 4-way stop; turn right. Then turn left upon Emily Ave., and park your mode of transportation, because the park will be immediately visible and accessible.
Fighter practices have not yet been scheduled on an ongoing basis, but are currently in discussion/planning. Monday night fighter practices in Rohnert Park are tentatively planned for the summer; check the forums for details.
