A New Shire in the East
During court at Crown Tournament yesterday, the East Kingdom seneschal formally announced that the Incipient Shire of Hadchester, having formally met all the requirements, is now a full fledged Shire. This brings the total number of SCA groups in Maine to four:
- The Province of Malagentia, which include two incipient ridings, Giggleswick and Raven’s Bridge. It covers the southern part of the state, including Portland and Lewiston.
- The Barony of Endewearde, which includes two incipient cantons, Basingstoke by the Sea and Wyndriche. It covers the central part of the state.
- The Shire of Smithwick, which includes the northern part of the state.
- The Shire of Hadchester, which consists of mid-coast Maine.
This status is the culmination of years of hard work. Vivant!
