Eplaheimr
The Barony of Eplaheimr is the SCA branch covering the Midlands of Ireland (Offaly, Laois & North Tipperary). It is part of the Principality of Insulae Draconis in the Kingdom of Drachenwald.
History
Previously known as the 'Midlands' part of the then Shire of Lough Devnaree (which then covered all of Ireland). Following a large increase in membership in N. Ireland (2003), Lough Devnaree was spilt into two more distinct shires. The Shire of Glen Rathlin taking N. Ireland and the Isle of Man and the rest remained with Lough Devnaree. Shortly after that, the Shire of Eplaheimr also formed from the Midlands (Offaly, Laois & North Tipperary).
In February of 2021, at a virtual court, Eplaheimr became a barony, with Melisende Fitzwalter and Etienne Fevre being invested as founding Baroness and Baron.
People
Activities are based around Shinrone in Co. Offaly. Shire members hail from almost all the surrounding counties.
