Tir Ysgithr

About us

The Barony of Tir Ysgithr is the oldest of the seven mighty baronies in the Kingdom of Atenveldt. We are located in what is known modernly as Tucson, Arizona and its surrounding suburbs. The group was founded in 1973 and has flourished throughout the years with many talented armored fighters, skilled artisans, and tireless volunteers.

We hosts a number of different medieval inspired activities such as “fighter practice” – a weekly sparring and general get together, day/evening arts & sciences classes (like sewing, lampwork, etc.), themed day events and camping!

New to the Barony and/or SCA? Read through the Newcomer Guide! If you’d like to get more involved, contact the Newcomer Officer (called a Chatelaine) or our Baron and Baroness or join the Facebook group and/or ask about our Discord server.
