Welcome to The Dracameron!

This is a project to collect stories from the Society for Creative Anachronism's  Kingdom of Drachenwald (although they need not have taken place here), so that we can share those stories now while we cannot meet to share them in person, and hopefully, to serve as a permanent repository for our Principality, to say that we were here, and this is what we did, and here are those tales. The project began in Drachenwald's Principality of Insulae Draconis but has since been expanded to the whole Kingdom.

Tales of war, of arts, of joy, of sorrow, of love, of friendship and family, of great deeds and amusing occurrences. Tales of travel, tales of feasts, tales of exceptional events. Tales of people - and animals. Tales of kindness, and courtesy, and courage, and daring escapes (or not). Of the great deeds of our fighters. The tales of our foundation. Of triumphs in the Arts and Sciences. Perhaps of those now in different kingdoms and missed. All of these and more may be found here. 

Tales such as, perhaps, those of the fool who forgot their opponent was left-handed in the final of the Oxford Roll. Or the courageous victor, from his knees. Or the fighter who finally got his round shield back after the baggage handlers realised the plane had unaccountably developed an extra hatch. Or the Knight whose weapons got put in Lost Property. Or even, maybe, of the cat who stopped Coronet, but was permitted to cross the field by Duke Drachenwald because he was 18, and thus eligible to be there.

The Dracameron is the idea of the Lady Alessandra di Riario d'Aretino and is run by that good lady and Lady Cecily of Okynfirth, both of Insulae Draconis.
