Shadow Legion is an SCA household founded by their Graces, Duke Sir Kane Redfeather and Duchess Ilissa the Nightwatcher. The household is based in the Kingdom of Gleann Abhann.

Background

House Shadow Legion was started in the 1980s by Duke Sir Kane as House Eagle. It was rechristened Shadow Legion in the early 1990s.

House Shadow Legion is the largest mercenary household in the kingdom and takes part in events throughout the Known World. Fighters in the household muster for all major wars in which the kingdom participates. Most notably Gulf Wars, Diamond Wars, Pennsic and on occasion Border Raids in Meridies.

Though known for being a newbie household, helping new members find their way into the society, at the core they are primarily a fighting household (Heavy and Rapier combat), though they have many diverse interests.
