Greetings
and Well Come to all who visit this land of the North Woods. We bid you good
fortune and and invite you to peruse our many facets for your pleasure.
Note: In researching our history, I found we are officially listed as North
Woods. As I have not found where we were changed, I have corrected the web page
to reflect our registered name. - webminister
Please read Baron Odo and Baronessa Dulcinea's missive to the
Populace
of North Woods. There is now a "wish list"
for our Barony. Please consider these requests. For the missives
from their Excellencies, other missives to the populace, and the Holmgang
(the Baronial Newsletter which includes the minutes from the Baronial Council
Meetings), you can find links on
the missives page.
At Squires Revolt, A.S. 46 (2011), Weldlake, an incipient
canton of North Woods, gave a gift to the Barony. They have made a mold
from which tokens and medals may be cast. The pewter castings that
were given can be seen at this link - Weldlake Gift.

To introduce you to the history of North Woods pages:
From the Decennial History of North Woods by Finnvarr of Taahe
IT IS WELL KNOWN that the first tournament in North Woods - then called the
lost barony-Took place on May 2nd, A.S. V. The prelude to that event is known
only to a few. It is, however, a story worth telling, if only to give credit to
those folk who made the later deeds of our barony possible.

Long ago, in the City of the Singing Lance, or Lansing, there was a group of
people who were devoted to ancient legends and prophetic dreams of heroism and
wizardry. They were an energetic lot, and would often travel long distances to
meet others of their kind. In September of A.S. III, three Lansingites, Thorvald,
Sivny, and their friend Susan, took a particularly ambitious trip to a gathering
called Baycon, on the shores of the Great Western Bay. Now at Baycon that year
there was a tournament hosted by the Society for Creative Anachronism, which was
yet a small organization restricted to the Bay area. Noting (sic) like it had
ever been seen by any of the folk present. Many were inspired by the rebirth of
chivalry in their own times, and returned to their homes to found new branches
of the Society. Among those entrances were Thorvald, Signy, and Susan, and they traveled
back to Lansing full of enthusiasm to plant the Society in their own land. When
they got home, though, their fellows showed no great interest in Society
culture. For a year and more, no concrete steps were taken to start a branch of
the Society in Lansing. It was in this interval that the Middle Kingdom was
founded in Treegirtsee.
It was in autumn of A.S. IV, that the first serious plans to
found a barony were made. Since the previous year there had been changes in the
Lansing circle. There were many new fold: some were much taken with the romance
of chivalry, other with the Viking spirit. When the Lansin(sic) fellowship
gathered for their traditional Halloween festival, a large number came dressed
in battle gear. It was then that Signy revived the idea of the Society, and this
time the idea fell on responsive ears.
