The Barony of Bhakail is the branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism serving the greater Philadelphia area. In the SCA, we are the southernmost barony in the East Kingdom.
You can see our latest Announcements here!
The SCA is an international organization dedicated to research and education about the pre-17th century world. We learn about the Middle Ages by living it — making and wearing medieval clothes, cooking and eating medieval food, learning to fight with swords, shields and armor, and lots more! We encourage you to come find out more about what we do: new friends are always welcome!
If you are new to the SCA or are looking to get involved please visit our Newcomers page for some wonderful information and links. If you are a current member of the SCA and have just moved into the Barony, please visit the About Us page and feel free to send an email to our Chatelaine, the person who helps newcomers find their way in the SCA. Either way, we welcome you to introduce yourself to the Baron of Bhakail – Muin maqq Minain.
