Wildgard
A freehold chapter located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Heraldry
History
Wildgard has been through a couple of re-namings since its consideration by Zume and Sylver. Originally it was going to be called Wild Spirits to honor both the fact that Winnipeg is at the doorstep of pure wilderness and that Winnipeg was the central meeting place of three aboriginal tribes: Anishinabe (Ojibway), Cree, and Lakota (Sioux). The name Wildgard was decided upon to represent a realm shared equally by humans and wild animals.

Fighting Company
Our first fighting company to come from this group is known as "Clan Akinishto." Contrary to the common belief of those who have heard this name in past "Akinishto" is not Japanese, nor is it from any language currently in use or even in existence. It comes from a language that is of Zume Frostpaw and Sylver Snowlynx's creation. It translates to "A" meaning "of the", "Kin" meaning "Animal" and "Ishto" meaning "Warrior." This fighting company is comprised of only furry amtgardians.
Now.. before anyone goes off screaming "Eww.. furries!" please read this.
This is the heraldry for our fighting company.

Wildgard meets in Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba in the extreme eastern portion next to Park Boulevard just south of the baseball diamonds. We meet on Sundays 1pm - 5(ish)pm Central Time. There is parking in the parking lot on the Formal Gardens Loop and along Park Boulevard. Our scheduled months are going to be (approximately) April-October/November due to the extreme temperature drop in the north. During the winter months we will go into hibernation. See you all on the field!
