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.
