History
The Village Guard is a realm based in Valley Village, CA (Los Angeles). We are a friendly group of simple villagers that have come together to defend our village from the general evil shenanigans of the outside world. We are all that is left after the more seasoned and important warriors have gone off to do battle type things. Members of The Village Guard are known as, Guardspeoples.
We meet Saturdays in Valley Village Park at 12:30 pm-Sunset
Practice time is subject to change and is updated weekly via our village stump. (Our Facebook page)
Garb is optional and loaner weapons are always available.
Guardspeoples
Guardspeoples are grouped into, "groves." Their grove is chosen based on a balancing combination of experience, play-style and frequency of attendance. The below map shows The Village, and the map key markings to where everyone lives:
