Forodwaith

Forodwaith is a Belegarth realm based in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Forodwaith was started in March of 2009 by Poo and several friends who had begun fighting at the realm of Rhun in Madison, Wisconsin. The first official practice met with great success, garnering around 20 people and with the greatly appreciated help of Sorcia, Kayle, Kyrian, and Guts, turned out to be a great practice.
