The Barony of Madrone is the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism. (SCA) Madrone is a Barony of the Kingdom of An Tir. The Barony covers the area modernly known as Seattle and northern King County, in Washington state. The Eastside of this area is known as the Canton of Porte de l’Eau, a sub-branch of Madrone.

Welcome!

Volunteers help run the Barony

The Barony is run by volunteers who consent to serve for a period of time, usually two years, as one of the Baronial officers. Service can be based on interest and skills. Training is available. Serving the Barony is a wonderful opportunity to meet people and enhance your skills (and skills you develop doing volunteer work for the Barony,  you can then reference those skills on a resume!)

Canton of Porte de l’Eau

The Barony includes a subgroup known as a Canton, called  Porte de l’Eau. The Canton is on the east side of Lake Washington and folk who live in Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue and other places enjoy activities sponsored by this group. Information about “PdL” activities is available on the “Barony of Madrone & PdL Group” on Facebook.

Our Barony has the wonderful and benevolent leadership of Barunin Gera Gangolffin and Barun Christopher MacEveny.  Madronans can contact the Barun and Barunin with questions, feedback, and suggestions. It is our duty as Madronans to take note of accomplishments of our fellow Madronans and to recommend those who do service for an award.
