| Welcome |
We are members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a historical educational organization. The Society encourages members to live and experience the Middle Ages and Renaissance by wearing the clothing, cooking the food, donning the armor, fighting with the weapons, playing the music, and displaying both honor and chivalry, rather than reading about them in a book.
The Known World of the SCA is divided into kingdoms which are further divided into Baronies (and Cantons, Principalities, Shires, et al). Our shire is located in the Kingdom of Atlantia, which includes the mundane states of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and a piece of Georgia. The Shire of Roxbury Mill encompasses most of Maryland's Montgomery County. Our neighbors include the Barony of Highland Foorde, Barony of Lochmere, Barony of Stierbach, and the Barony of Storvik.

The season of tournaments and war is upon the horizon. Are you ready to answer your liege lords call to arms, or to win the favor of your lady and the tournament prize? Are you authorized to do combat? Have you gotten soft in the dark winter months? Warriors, swashbucklers, men at arms, archers and squires must make ready. The Shire of Roxbury Mill has the privilege to host the first Annual Martial Arts Symposium, where those who wish may hone their skills and attain authorization to battle for their lady, liege or King. The shire will host four list fields for armored combat, rapier combat, thrown weapons and target archery. As the day closes the Good Shire of Roxbury mill will host a country feast. With a Pas D'Arms by torchlight of armored and rapier combats.
