==ABout==<br />
Eastwatch is a [[Shire]] in the [[North Oaken]] region of the Middle Kingdom. Geographically, the Shire of Eastwatch contained Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties, OH. It was bordered on the west by the Barony of the [[Cleftlands]] and on the south by the [[March]] of [[Gwyntarian]] and on the east by the [[Kingdom]] of [[Aethelmearc]]<br />
<br />
===Heraldry===<br />
*Arms/Device - Argent, a tower sable, issuing from its roof a beacon flame proper, the whole within a laurel wreath vert, a chief enarched azure, platy.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Independent Shire of Eastwatch originally grew out of the Barony of the Cleftlands in the 1980s. There was some desire to become a Canton of the Cleftlands at that time, but instead became independent. <br />
<br />
Sir [[William Ransom]] is credited with adding the platy (affectionately known as "Snow balls") background to the group's submitted arms. <br />
<br />
The shire enjoyed some early success hosting an annual event "Fun with Weasels" for three years which featured an "Iron Weasel Triathalon" wherein the competitors had to fight a tournament, dance and shoot an archery competition all in armour (They were allowed to remove helms and gauntlets for the dancing and archery portions.) The first "Iron Weasel" was Sir [[Ephraim ben Schlomo]]. In the third year (1997? 1998?) they added a "Decorate a weasel" arts competition which was won by [[Lyonnete Vibert]]. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately the Shire fell fallow in the late 1990s, but was later re-established in the early 00's (again with the aid of the Barony of the Cleftlands.) The group and the Barony voted for the group becoming a [[canton]] of the [[Cleftlands]], however due to their petition for full status being stated as "The Shire of Eastwatch, a Canton of the Cleftlands" they were elevated as an independent Shire, instead of a canton and were independent once more.<br />
<br />
===Heraldry History===<br />
The name Shire of Eastwatch was registered with the SCA College of Heralds in February of 1990. <br><br />
The heraldic device was registered in February of 1990. <br><br />
<br />
==Events==<br />
The Shire re-established the [[Fun with Weasels]] event, in the spring instead of the fall, and added a fall archery event "Afternoon of Fun", which featured a haunted woods archery shoot that was very popular with archers. In 2005 or 2006 they added a winter Dance and Game revel.<br />
