Welcome

The Barony of Elfsea is part of the Kingdom of Anstorrra (Texas and Oklahoma) in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA). We attempt to create many aspects of the Middle Ages: its chivalry, sciences, arts, and several of its martial arts. And, like the Middle Ages, we are a family group with things for all to do.

We create and wear clothing that might have been worn in the period before 1600. We camp with our friends using tents and equipment that might have been used in that same period. We research what people knew and what they did and try to reproduce the goods and skills they had.

We also fight in the various styles of the Middle Ages. We fight in a "King Arthur" style used prior to about 1500 which we call Armored Fighting. We fight in a "Three Musketeers" style used from about 1500 onward which we call Rapier Fighting. We also use Archery (long bows and crossbows) in both these styles. We do various types of seige weapons. We do target archery and target thrown weapons. And we do various Equestrian sports that were enjoyed in the Middle Ages.

Most events have Childrens' Activities, food, displays of arts, and opportunities to show noble courtesies to each other.

Last, but certainly not least, we do grand feasts of many courses in various styles used in the countries of Europe between approximately 700 AD and 1600 AD. Such food is a joy to the eyes and the stomach.

It is almost certain you will find something to capture your imagination in what we do. Please give our group a try.
