House Attica is Alfar of Attica's household in the SCA.

History and Traditions

House Attica was formed in 1994 and is primarily a fighting and service household.

In 2001, Attica held the throne of Lochac for four consecutive six-month reigns, including the last Principality of Lochac reign and the first Kingdom of Lochac reign and so we call this period the Attica Hegemon and hold that it birthed the Kingdom of Lochac.

Heraldry

The banner of House Attica is Per chevron sable and gules, in chief eight swords in annulet Proper.

The motto for the household is In Loyalty There Is Honour

Location

Alfar of Attica and the majority of the membership reside in the Barony of Rowany, Kingdom of Lochac, but there are members in other baronies of Lochac and in other Kingdoms of the Knowne Worlde

Accolades

House Attica was admitted to the West Kingdom Order of the Pillar of the West by Uther and Portia on 30th March 2002 A.S. XXXVI, and again by Jade and Megan on 6th July 2002 A.S. XXXVII

House Attica was admitted to the Lochac Order of the Pride of Lochac by Niáll I and Liadan I on 24th August 2013 A.S. XLVIII

House Attica was admitted to the West Kingdom Order of The Crown's Favor by King Fabian VII and Queen Eliska II of the Kingdom of the West at Rowany Festival on 21st April 2025 A.S. LIX
