Kingdom of the Wetlands:
The Kingdom of the Wetlands
The Kingdom of the Wetlands is a regional Amtgard group made up of multiple sub-chapters.
The Wetlands is a central Texas/Western Louisiana Amtgard group with 12 chapters spanning north to Tyler, TX, south to Hitchcock, TX, East to Lake Charles, LA, and west to College Station, TX.
Each sub-group (called a province) meets at a public park in town, and meetings are open to the public. We encourage people to come ask questions and participate. Each group has elected officers that take care of the running of the club and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
A listing of our Kingdom provinces and other Amtgard groups can be found on the Amtgard Atlas. Look around, and then come visit one of our local groups.
Our next special event is the Kingdom Midreign Celebration. If you have any questions or would like more info, feel free to visit the Wetlands Kingdom Forums.

About Amtgard
Hello and welcome to the world of Amtgard!
Amtgard is a world-wide organization dedicated to medieval and fantasy combat sports and recreation. We use padded 'weapons', fantasy and authentic clothing, as well as imagination to immerse in players in a world of heroic combat.
With our live action combat and role-play, you can fight with foam-padded boffer weapons, and even play the part of a fierce barbarian, a powerful wizard, a tactical warrior, a healer, and much more.
Amtgard is also a great environment for you to explore your creative side with a broad range of skills ranging from armoring and sewing to painting and singing, and anything in between.
No matter if your interest is competitive sports fighting, finding an outlet for your creative talents, or wanting to hone your leadership skills, Amtgard has something to offer you!
Visit the Wetlands Kingdom Forums for more information on the local groups, or JoinAmtgard.com for information on Amtgard nationwide.
