Eastwind Village is a place where those that are nerdy, geeky, outdoorsy, love history and maybe just don’t fit quite right in mundane groups can meet and grow as a “village”. Many of the activities we do help people work on skills they may lack to strengthen their lives in the mundane world. We have helped take introverted people and made them comfortable with groups of people. People that were once timid being able to stand their ground. Even though we are a medieval group, the village atmosphere is a great place to learn and work on yourself to grow as an individual. . This is why we have people come up with Eastwind names. We have found that setting up goals for your Eastwind character allows people to break walls faster than using their mundane names. We are a medieval group with a twist of modern

Nature: Under the realms of nature we all live, balance the pull from its bounty and the nourishment of it blessed existence.

Our laws are Nature, Creativity, Kindness
Nature: Under the realms of nature we all live, balance the pull from its bounty and the nourishment of it blessed existence.
Creativity: The keys to creativity is unique to all, cast not a net upon those that wish to fly but give aid to their wings.
Kindness: The core of which all things shall be balanced, even in the heat, respect keeps kindness intact. But, be cautioned never to extend kindness in one direction that another direction must pay. Remember self-empowerment should never disempower others.
A sneak peek
A little about what we do
Even though eastwind village has been around since 2009, it went through a major reboot of focus after COVID. With the reboot of Eastwind village in November 2021, the focus has been more on the village and its people vice the Knights and the knights’ path. The justification was you need people for a kingdom for the knights to protect. We have ensured that there are more activities for our villagers to participate in without having to be on the knight’s path. Three of our focus areas are live steel archery, live steel weapons throwing (we have multiple weapons to choose from and learn to throw), and foam sword fighting. (Yes the Knights path does still exist, and after you have come out a few times and have witnessed our Knights in action and decide you to want to strive to be a Knight of the Kingdom, you can become an initiate on the path) Even if you do not wish to be a knight of one of those disciplines, you can still learn and help support that house by being a part of their guild. Our newest endeavor is our Eastwind University which is where the classes are held under. Most of these classes are geared towards our time period, but anyone can request to teach something they know, even if it is a newer craft. Again, our twist of modern. All Eastwind University classes are geared towards any person, no matter what affiliation they are (dag, SCA, amptgard, newbie coming in). Guilds will also fall under Eastwind University since they will be more focused on teaching and learning the discipline of that guild.
We do strive to include our poppets (children 15 and under) in the activities, but there are times when the activity is not suitable for them. We do have a Poppet coordinator who runs our Poppet tourneys, which helps the poppets keep in mind our motto and laws. If they do partake in the activities such as fighter practice, it will help them in the long run by possibly winning in the poppet fighter tourneys and winning the end of year prize. We do still need more help with the Poppets group, but we are still actively working to improve this.
Speaking of tourneys, the adult villagers have a token tourney that is many activities over the year where they earn tokens from the events with the individual with the highest token earned at the end of the year, also gets a prize. The tokens earned can be used in any future tournaments (some may be ineligible) to either help yourself or someone else. This is to help reinforce our motto. Let’s say we are doing an archery token tourney, and you see someone not doing well. You can use one of your tokens for them and they would get two extra arrows to shoot for one token. However, if you were to use a token on yourself, you would only get one arrow to reshoot.
The knights have a big tournament the first weekend in December to see who will become the First Knight for the year. It is many events in the three houses over 2 days and the overall winner takes the title of First Knight. The winners of the different events and overall winner gets announced at our NYE party every year.
