Good Day and Welcome

Greetings and welcome to the industrious Shire of Sterlynge Vayle - known in the mundane world as Binghamton, New York. We are a small but active group of the Society for Creative Anachonism (SCA). As quoted from the SCA website: "The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our "Known World" consists of 19 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Participants, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which may feature tournaments, arts exhibits, classes, workshops, dancing, feasts, and more. Our "royalty" hold courts at which they recognize and honor members for their contributions to the group."

If you are interested in history - specifically, if you are interested in what life may have been like had you been born in the middle ages, this maybe the place for you. We host multiple demos, events and gatherings, offer Arts and Sciences in archery, heavy weapons, fencing, calligraphy and illumination, armor making, weaving, knitting, embroidery, soap making, candle making, brewing, cooking, bardic, clothing construction and research. We offer loaner gear and garb for those looking to try SCAdian life out for an event or fight practice. Our Chataline is here to help you get started and answer any questions about The Society.
