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 Barony 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===

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.


DOLLAR TOURNAMENTS

Every month we will be holding a "Dollar" tournament for the fighters. This will be a standard tournament (single sword, sword and shield, Florentine, and open). It costs $1 to enter all the events initially. In addition a person may pay an extra $1 per life to re-enter into each area. The funds raised from each tournament will go toward funding Park projects, travel to kingdom events, and half the proceeds will go to a local charity. The Tournaments will be on the following days:

January 26th February 23rd March 23rd April 27th May 25th

Theme Days for this Reign

  • February 23rd- Royal theme
