The '''Stronghold of Nebelwald''' is a [[branch]] of the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] in the [[U.S.]] military installations at Hohenfels, Vilseck, and Grafenwoehr, [[Germany]]. It is is a part of the [[Shire of Turmstadt]] in the German-[[Austria]]n [[Region]] of the [[Kingdom of Drachenwald]]. Although it is a fairly new branch (founded in [[2002]]), it quickly came to prominence when the [[King]], [[Queen]], [[Kingdom]] [[Seneschal]], and Kingdom [[Exchequer]] all lived here simultaneously ([[2005]]). It is equally well know for its fighting skills -- [[fighter practice]]s here are not to be missed!

For folks that only speak [[English]], "Nebelwald" translates (from [[German]]) as "Foggy Forest", a truly apt name for this corner of [[Bavaria]].

The [[Stronghold]] was originally [[SCA name|named]] "Forgotten [[Castle]]", but that idea was rejected upon a preliminary review by the [[College of Heralds]] of Drachenwald. The founder of the Stronghold, [[Lord]] Charles [[Raven]], was granted permission by the Stronghold to keep the name for those who were here in the early days as a [[household]] name.

The group hosts a monthly "practice tournament" called "the Silverback tourney". Because "Nebelwald" can also be translated as "the misty woods", the fighters style themselves "The Gorillas in the Mist".

The current [[officer]]s of the Stronghold (30 Jun [[2006]]) are:
*[[Lady]] Esmeralda, [[Seneschal]]e
*Lord Thorald Skegglauss, [[Exchequer]] and [[herald]]
*Horst, [[Knights Marshal]]
*[[Mistress]] Eufemia Serafina da Bergamo, [[Minister]] of [[Arts and Sciences]]

Seneschals to date have been:
*Lady Keara Raven (founding Seneschale)
*Lord Nathaniel Hawkins
*Porter
*[[Sir]] Cadogan map Cado
*Lady Esmerelda
