The
Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a world-wide living history club with
members numbering in the tens of thousands. Within the SCA there are several
“kingdoms” and within these kingdoms are local groups known as baronies. One of
these baronies, made up of central Ontario , Canada ,
is known as Septentria. Septentria was the first barony to be formed in Ontario .
The people of this barony, who pride themselves as being from “the heart of
Ealdormere”, have a long and proud history. The Honourable Laird Colyne Stewart
(otherwise known as author Todd H. C. Fischer) has, over the past decade and a
half, written several histories of this barony, its peoples and their deeds.
From the founding baroness, Gillian d’Uriel, up to the investiture of Dafydd
and Mahhild, Colyne has collected many tales of Septentria’s past, presenting
them in the form of period chronicles.

is known as Ealdormere. The people of this kingdom, who pride themselves as
being from “the northlands”, have a long and proud history. This year, the SCA
turns fifty years old, and as part of the celebrations, each kingdom was asked
to write a history of its lands. In Ealdormere, this task fell to the
Honourable Laird Colyne Stewart (otherwise known as author Todd H. C. Fischer).
Through study of earlier histories, newsletters and discussions with founding
members, Colyne has compiled this chronicle featuring many acts of dedication,
service, prowess, valour, and honour.
