Welcome to the Incipient Shire of Vallis Aeris
Welcome to the Safford, AZ chapter of the Kingdom of Atenveldt in the SCA! The Society for Creative Anachronism, is an international, non-profit, educational organization designed for all ages as a hands-on, learn-by-doing model to research and re-create a living history of European life prior to 1600.
