| Barony of Blatha an Oir |
Welcome to the Barony of Blatha an Oir
Their Excellencies, Baron Aleksii and Baroness Elspeth, welcome you to the Barony of Blatha an Oir. The Barony of Blatha an Oir is the local branch (Tacoma, Pierce County, WA) of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) (a non-profit educational organization devoted to the study of pre-seventeenth century Western culture). Geographically, Blatha an Oir is bounded to the north by the Shire of Wyewood (South King County) and to the south by the Barony of Glymm Mere (Thurston and South Mason Counties). The Barony of Dragons Laire (Kitsap County) lies to the west.
Autumn War is our big event of year. The Barony also puts on Harvest Feast, Candlemas, Sergeants Trials, and Lord Defenders. Lord Defenders is the Barony's Championship Trials for Heavy Weapons, Rapier, Archery, Thrown Weapons, and Arts and Sciences.
Our members come from many walks of life. We share an interest in the history and culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance and pursue that interest through Experimental Archeology. This is just a fancy way of saying we attempt to duplicate the many Arts and Sciences of hundreds of years ago. We study combat techniques, arts and crafts, social structures and dress of the period. This includes Heavy weapons, rapier, archery, spinning, weaving, dyeing, tailoring, embroidery, brewing, heraldry, carpentry, joinery, carving, blacksmithing, and much more. We encourage a hands on approach to history. This study starts in the library but moves quickly to the forge, needle and tourney field. This website provides a glimpse into our world and resources for our members.
For more information, you may contact our Chatelaine, Agnés berengarii de girona about getting involved with our fair Barony.
Postern Gate E-mail List
The Postern Gate is the e-mail list setup for the populace of Blatha an Oir.

We have fixed our problem with Comcast e-mail addresses by moving the Gate to a completely different location. The Postern Gate is now hosted on the AnTir Kingdom server. The new address for posting to the Postern Gate (now known as [gate2]) is bao@antir.sca.org If you don't receive confirmation of your subscription within 24 hours please email the Gatekeeper Requests occasionally get lost in the junk mail filter so I don't know they are there.
