About Amlethsmor

The Shire of Amlethsmor (formerly the Shire of Amlesmore, also sometimes called Amleth Moor) is a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and a part of the Kingdom of Calontir. The SCA is an international organization dedicated to the re-creation of pre-17th century Europe and places that had contact with it. It consists of 19 kingdoms and over 30,000 members. Members of the SCA can take part in activities varying from calligraphy to leather working to brewing to armored combat and more. The Kingdom of Calontir is a regional branch of the SCA and covers most of the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and a part of Arkansas. For more information see the Newcomer Page.
