Drachenwald is the SCA kingdom consisting of Europe (including Iceland), Africa, and the Middle East. It was earlier a principality of the East Kingdom. Reportedly, in the early 1970s it was called the Protectorate of Thairsis, but there are no written records of that. In like manner, the Shire of Vielburgen was reportedly the first formal SCA branch on this side of the Great Ocean, but there are no formal records of that either.

Note that the regions in Drachenwald are not as formal as in other kingdoms. They are purely administrative and may vary between kingdom officers.
