Welcome
to the Shire of Draca Mor
The Shire of Draca Mor is a branch of the Society for Creative
Anachronism which is an international organization dedicated
to researching and re-creating European history of the Middle
Ages and Renaissance (pre-1600).
We are located in the Western Slope of Colorado, specifically
Grand Junction, which is a part of the Kingdom of Artemisia.
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA.org) is an international,
non-profit, educational society celebrating pre-17th century
history. It has members who study every aspect of medieval life.
We are brewers, archers, calligraphers, heralds, fencers, spinners,
blacksmiths, costumers, dancers, cooks and armoured fighters.
We enjoy feasting, spinning, needlepoint, equestrian, leatherwork,
beadwork, socializing, live weapons competition, period music,
theatre and much more. If someone did it back then, you can
bet someone is trying to do it now.
The goal is to learn through doing. Doing and sharing ones
subject knowledge with others. The SCA encourages historical
research and recreation, and most importantly: preserving a
code of conduct, mentality and philosophy that, in many ways,
is lacking in the modern world.
This website is meant to give a look into of some of the aspects
of our shire. More information and links to groups in your area
can be found here.
