Founded in 2005, joined DS in 2006.

September 12, 2006 Attention all ye god-fearing soldiers of the true cross! To the North is a freehold highland realm of barbarians and savages! It is our duty and right as crusaders to the cause and as loyal subjects to Dragonspine that we heed the call to arms and crush this haven of heathens. The leader of the savages, Sheriff Harkilar, has challenged DS by claiming that only an invasion force of considerable strength will bow them to the kingdom banners and make them a DS land. God wills it! -King Anatole

The group joined Dragonspine that weekend if I'm remembering correctly. We also killed some savages. However a lot did remain, enough of us to make a vote on weather or not to allow the invansion to continue with such death and sacrifice.

• Have you had any news organizations do any pieces on your chapter in the last two years?

We have been in local newspapers for quite sometime off and on, and at least once a year for the local Carrizozo Renn Festival We hold a DEMO that happens annually as well as the pictures in the paper.... And a local newspaper's employee currently playing Amtgard as much as he can... His name is Grahf aka Erik Bearer of the Ruidoso Free Press.

• What have you been doing to attract new players?

We currently have 50+ fliers handed out daily by three local shops who place one in every bag as costumers leave. Also at the Chamber of commerce we are listed as a big entertainment value to tourists and locals alike. We are trying to make the most of this Shire by helping out our tourism. Every year at the Earth Day celebration we also hold a demo, we have also started helping out the local library with their Summer Reading Program for kids between 2-10, helping them to read and to make dragon day possible. We hold a demo once every six months in front of one of several midtown merchants who appreciate us and we have several “Flier days” where we “walk caravan” midtown (the main strip here) and hand out fliers and tell people why we are dressed the way we are lol.

• Has anything happened in the last year that you would like included in your history?

We have survived many natural disasters and lost a few Amtgarders due o the latest fire, three Amtgarders of Ruidoso have officially moved outta state or town and no longer attend our park, we hope they still attend Amtgard. We have had a lot happen in the last two years. We started playing at Wingfield park during the year of 2008 due to the flooded streets of that years El Nina hurricane dropping us some of the worst weather our town has seen in 25+ years. We would like to have more participants on Sundays from other parks, it is rare that we have visitors.
