The Barony of Atenveldt is a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) in Arizona, known in the Society as the Kingdom of Atenveldt. We are a vibrant community of history enthusiasts in Central Phoenix, dedicated to exploring and recreating the medieval eras through education, recreation, and social connection. Membership is not required to join our activities, but it offers discounts on events and opens doors to recognition.
The SCA is a non-profit organization that brings the Middle Ages to life through research, arts, and hands-on activities. While the SCA began with a focus on medieval Europe, we now welcome reenactors from all cultures — from Southeast Asia to the Americas.
