So imagine a world wide reenactment group that focuses on the 6th to 16th century where everyone is awesome and totally crazy for history. And they all wear garb that is documented for their persona. You can become a knight, or possibly even King. There are large battles between kingdoms, or small ones between baronies. Tournaments are held to prove your skill in combat and classes are taught on almost every period subject imaginable.
If I haven’t convinced you, check it out and find the barony that you live in by clicking this link. I live in the barony of Caer Anterth Mawr and are tight with the current Baron and Baroness as well as a number of prominent figures in the Barony.
Seconded so hard. I currently live in the Palatine Barony of the Far West (am a former Palatine Baroness, actually), where we have Thai members who are pondering how to fight SCA battles on elephant-back.
