“Crimson Circle, which is a branch of the kingdom known as Polaris, which essentially makes up Minnesota, Illinois, parts of Illinois and Wisconsin, we’re part of a larger game called Amtgard, which nationally there’s parks all over the United States, including Canada. We all get together and coordinate with the rules. We have inter-kingdom events and we get together to just fight, have a good time and get to know each other,” said Jon Buss, Green Bay.
