Heraldry
History
The Barony of Granyte Spyre has been in existence since 1993. Contract received by the BL on May 6th 1995.
Originally founded at Hermann Park in Houston, Texas by Sir Nomad Fishslayer, Sir Vaargard Malorius, and Sir Q (at the time known as Lothar). They were quickly joined by Dr. Rolin S. Phlogiston, Esq. and Valeran Holt, among others.
At this time in Amtgard's history, Houston was in a region unaffiliated to any kingdom. As Nomad had played under the Golden Plains (Irongate) while at Texas Tech, the group agreed to petition the Golden Plains for membership as a barony. This request was granted in 1995.
Granyte Spyre, along with Mordengaard (College Station, TX) and Stormwall (Galveston, TX), and in one instance at least, Spidervale; hosted several impressive events (called "Triple Midreign") well attended by the Amtgard populace. The success of these events, along with the continual work of the populace of Granyte Spyre, played a key role in legitimizing the effort of unity and kingdomhood for Southeast Texan groups that eventually assembled as the Wetlands.
This chapter has produced some of the best newsletters ever to bee seen by amtgard, especially in the mid nineties. These Newsletters where called the Obelisk.
We meet every Saturday at 2pm (amtgard standard time) at Cullen Park at the corner of Barker-Cypress and Saums Rd.
