Having become a Kingdom in September A.S. XXXII, Æthelmearc is the fifteenth oldest in the Known World. Geographically it consists of West Virginia, Western & Central Pennsylvania, and Western & Central New York.

History

As with other kingdoms that were formerly remote parts of other realms, there was much resentment in some parts of Æthelmearc that the royalty of the East Kingdom rarely visited. There was also a certain amount of heat around the idea of Æthelmearc becoming a kingdom, perhaps because Æthelmearc is the site of the Pennsic War between the East Kingdom and the Midrealm. Eventually, the Pennsic Treaty was signed; Æthelmearc agreed not to interfere in the running of the event and the East and Midrealm agreed that Æthelmearc would be kept informed.

Other events held in Æthelmearc which are familiar to non-residents include the Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon, which features an arts and sciences pentathlon competition, and Æthelmearc War Practice, held on the same site as Pennsic.

Groups

Æthelmearc is home to Myrkfaelinn, the only Independent Dominion in the SCA. The Board of Directors ruled that they owed fealty to no king, as their charter mentioned the then-king of the East by name.

The Baronies of Æthelmearc are:
