Call to Arms!

This time it's for real!

L ast year the rumors of war were proven to be false. While the enemy did not appear on the horizon, the Atlantian Army, small as it was, was ready to defend our lands and hold off the invaders until the entire kingdom could be mustered and brought to bare.

This time it's for real! We know the rumors to be true and the Meridians are coming!

The Back Story
The Canton of Stormwall is completely surrounded on three sides by the Kingdom of Meridies. It is logical that the Meridians would make their incursion into Atlantia through this sleepy canton nestled in the mountains. It could take weeks before news of this invasion would reach the ears of the Atlantian Crown and a kingdom wide alarm is raised. Stormwall must rely on their brethren from Hawkwood and their cousins from Sacred Stone and Nottinghill Coill if the invaders are to be slowed or dare we hope,  repelled. Gird up your loins, strap your kit to your steed and make haste to the West to prevent the invaders from gaining a foothold on our lands.

The historic Icelandic Alþingi brought an entire nation together to share knowledge, settle matters, and celebrate community. In that same spirit, Allthing is our day to gather, learn, and have a great time together!

Whether you're brand new to the SCA and curious about how it all works, or a seasoned member looking to pick up a new skill or give back to your group, Allthing has something for you.

A major focus of the day is pulling back the curtain on how the SCA runs. We'll have officer classes and training sessions to help you understand what our officers do and what it takes to step into those roles. Interested in serving your local group but not sure where to start? This is the perfect place to find out.

Our Baronial Seneschal and Coronets will also be holding office hours throughout the day — come say hello, ask questions, and get to know the people who help keep our barony running.

Beyond that, expect a full day of classes and workshops covering everything from the arts and sciences to martial activities, with plenty of opportunities to get hands-on and try something new. Want to learn what it takes to step onto the fighting field? Curious about a new craft? Just want to sing, dance, and hang out with good people? This is your event.

A potluck lunch will be held in the hall — bring a dish to share and enjoy good food and great company.

This event is free and open to all. No experience necessary — just bring your curiosity and be ready to have fun!

Once a year, the veil between worlds grows thin, and ancient roads, long lost to time, reveal themselves once more. In the hidden places of history—where mysticism, superstition, and the macabre ruled the Middle Ages—a crossroads took root, forged by those who walked the forgotten paths of the thinning veil. Here, at the confluence of worlds, lies a place where treasures are exchanged, memories are honored, and history breathes.

As the newly born Mourning Moon ascends, the pathways are open to this archaic place for all to journey. Beyond this threshold, wanderers and traders from the medieval world converge. Viking storytellers, Celtic mystics, Moorish scholars, and Mongol horsemen arrive to share skills, relics, secrets, and stories. Some bring offerings for the dead, others seek wisdom from spirits who linger beyond the veil.

The journey will be dangerous, so disguise yourself in attire to blend in with the medieval denizens of this market. You may find yourself learning arts long lost to time, trading tokens from another realm, unearthing forgotten tales by firelight, or discovering the rituals of undiscovered lands. Will you walk among the traders of forgotten civilizations? Carry home a relic from another age? Or leave changed, haunted by whispers of those who once stood in your place?

Holiday Market is a hybrid public/private event held in partnership with Mountain Rubn Winery.

From 12:00-5:00 pm SCA members and vendors will conduct a demonstration and market open to the public free of charge. The public can take classes and view demonstrations/displays that include archery, thrown weapons, youth combat, arts, sciences, and games. There will be a Halloween-themed costume contest. Food trucks will be on site.

At 5:00 the site will be closed to the public for a private SCA event. SCA members, vendors, and non-members who pay the site fee are welcome to stay for a night of revelry. A court and medievel-themed costume contest will begin the evening. From 7:00-9:00 roasted meats, stew, bread, and potatoes will be available for those who pay the feast fee.

For Twelfth Night 2027, the populace is invited to celebrate a season of transition, where old traditions and joyful excess meet at the turning of the year. The theme draws inspiration from late medieval southern Germany and Switzerland, where winter observances blended seamlessly with lively seasonal celebrations marking the close of one cycle and the promise of the next.

By the fifteenth century, these celebrations had fused into a distinctive blend of formality and fun. Daytime brought courtly pomp, displays of skill, and structured ceremony, while nightfall ushered in feasting, dancing, and masked revelry. This balance of order and exuberance provides the perfect setting for Atlantia’s Twelfth Night, offering a full day of pageantry and arts followed by an evening devoted to celebration, community, and unapologetic joy.

During this time, the days surrounding Twelfth Night marked the end of the winter holiday season and the gradual shift toward spring. Communities gathered for pageantry, symbolic acts of renewal, and public festivities that reflected both reflection and anticipation. These moments were as much about community and tradition as they were about marking time itself.

Alongside this came Fasnacht, a vibrant pre Lenten carnival that preserved much older seasonal customs. Masquerades, mummers, and playful processions filled towns with music, laughter, and satire. Masks and costumes allowed for mischief and creativity, and the rules of everyday life were happily bent before the long quiet of late winter.
