Welcome to the Current Middle Ages!
What's that you say? The "Current Middle Ages?"
You heard right! Caer Galen is a chapter group in the historical recreation organization known as "The Society for Creative Anachronism," or "SCA" for short. The SCA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the better qualities, and education, of historical living (i.e. no plague, destitution, or slavery). The SCA focuses from the time of the Roman Empire to the end of Queen Elizabeth I's reign,and encompasses historical Europe, parts of North Africa, and Asia. The SCA is broken into "Kingdoms" across the "Known World." Kingdoms are further organized into "Baronies, Shires,etc."

Caer Galen is a Barony in the Kingdom of the Outlands. We endorse fairness and equability, both within our group and to the public we interact with. Information about all things Caer Galen can be found in this collection of pages. So peruse, get inspired, and be welcome!
Caer Galen Baronial Polling
Saturday September 23, 2023
Location: Roosevelt Park, 700 Longs peak Avenue. NW corner of Bross and 8th.
Time: 10am-2pm
Update from the Seneschal:
Hi, everyone! If those who hadn't heard, Their Royal Majesties will be meeting with members of the Caer Galen Populace to discuss the baronial candidates and review populace polling. Polling will occur from 10am - 2pm on Sept 23rd, this Saturday. Polling and the special fighter practice will be occuring at Roosevelt Park, but not at the normal area of the park that we have fighter practice at SW corner (next to the shelter and playground). Due to the shelter being reserved, the polling and special fighter practice will occur at the NW corner of Roosevelt Park (corner of 8th and Bross). See the park map below for reference. There will be plenty of shade and a parking lot that's a bit closer. If you cannot make it to polling and would still like to have your voice heard, please email TRM at crown@outlands.org. I hope those who do attend have a great time!
