Welcome home! We are the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in Portland, Oregon USA encompassing Multnomah and Clackamas counties. The SCA is a not-for-profit world-wide organization dedicated to the better qualities and education of historical living, recreating the arts and skills of pre-17th century Europe. While dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, you can experience tournaments, royal courts, feasts, and dancing. You also have the opportunity to learn and practice ancient arts and skills like calligraphy, cooking, armoring, metalworking, carpentry, and needlework (to name just a few) — within an all-ages social group. The SCA is a great place to make friends and learn some new skills. Come and “get medieval” with us for fun!

Banishing the Clan of ‘Some’
Each year, the Coronets of Three Mountains confirm and reissue this banishment, done by our predecessors, Baron Roger and Baroness Morag, and Confirmed and reissued by all Coronets since.
We do hereby banish the clan of some from our lands and presence in perpetuity. We
command all of our citizens, as they love us, to offer no aid, nor comfort to any of the Clan of
Some. We would deny the aforesaid Clan of Some safe harbor or safe haven, and we charge
our citizens to provide none of these for this reprehensible clan. If any statement is made by
this aforesaid Clan of Some respecting any matters let none believe it.
And let the Clan of Some know that we do not care any for the safety or affection of this
aforesaid clan, but we defy you, as enemies of us and our citizens.
We deny the Clan of Some any freedoms and any peace whilst they are in our lands, and we
trust that our ministers and citizens shall likewise prohibit the inhabitation of our lands by any
of the Clan of Some.
Let all that have heard these words spread them far and wide, so that none of this aforesaid
clan shall attempt to make their residence in our lands.
So let it be known that Some people are banished.
