The Barony of Atenveldt is a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) in Arizona, known in the Society as the Kingdom of Atenveldt. We are a vibrant community of medieval history enthusiasts in Central Phoenix, dedicated to exploring and recreating the renaissance eras through education, recreation, and social connection.
