Ironwood
A Chapter of the Wetlands, located in Conroe, Texas.
History
A strongly role-play oriented group, Ironwood's park is growing with old and new members each week.The players are friendly and love to quest.
Each week there are plenty of events that are happening. We include Role-Playing aspects each week, A&S demonstrations each month, and many different forms of fighting (including ditching, battlegames and full quests).
Our Park is now a Duchy and is becoming the place to be within the Wetlands. Ironwood is known for it's hospitality and availability for hosting Monarchs and Kingdom level one-day events.
On a mundane note: restrooms, water fountains, a large covered pavilion, a skate-park, a dog park and a children's playground are available, and lend to the more family oriented atmosphere of this park.
There are a Kroger and other amenities at I-45 and 336 South, on your way in.
Current Monarchy
- Duke: Lord Kellthar
- Regent: Lady Ilyana
- PM: Baronet Draggo Vindictus
- Champion: Maester Gream Druidbane
The current monarchy is supporting the ongoing trend of family oriented activities, promotion of A&S with bi-monthly themed competitions (See below), enforcement of minimum garb standard, promotion of the Rules of Play 8.0+, amusing - rather than totally dry - courts, public acknowledgment of achievement wherever possible, and in general, having fun.
September FOOD FIGHT
Every year in September Amtgard gathers and collects food and money for local food banks and charities. This year Ironwood will be doing many different activities to help support this charity drive. We will be doing Charity Ironman tournaments with martial weapons, archery and spellballs. We will be holding a water balloon tournament. There is a raffle ($1 per ticket) for many wonderful items. There is a "pie in the Face" donation, where the officer who gets the most money in his/her can gets a pie in the face! And much more! Ironwood has been challenged by other Wetland groups and other kingdoms to raise funds. This year we mean to exceed anyone's expectations.
