The Shire of Wyewood (S. King County, WA) is located in the central region of An Tir, between Madrone and Blatha an Oir.
History
Wyewood was founded in A.S. XXIX (1994-1995) as a canton of Madrone. (The document naming Wyewood an official canton is a lovely illuminated scroll which may be seen here.) The original name of the canton was Wyebridge, but that name did not pass muster with the College of Arms as it was found to conflict with the real-world name Weybridge. So Wyewood was submitted as an alternate name, which did pass.
The mascot of Wyewood is Bubba, the winged hamster. See the canton of Porte de l'Eau for more information on Bubba.
