The World

So, what is the SCA World? The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an inclusive community pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat and culture. The lives of participants are enriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events.

The SCA World aka The Knowne World

The “Knowne World,” or the current world map, is divided into a number of SCA “Kingdoms” based on geography. These tend to be regions that include multiple states. Then cities and towns in those Kingdoms might have smaller SCA groups known as Baronies, Shires, or Cantons in them.

Murfreesboro, TN is the Shire of Rising Stone (for the monolith marking the geographic center of Tennessee) in the Kingdom of Meridies, which is made up of mostly Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia in the SCA World.

The SCA is also a not-for-profit entity. Find out more about the SCA.
