'''Eoforwic''' (pronounced "Efferwick", more or less) is a [[Canton]] of the [[SCA]] [[Barony of Septentria]] in the [[Kingdom of Ealdormere]]. It is located in metropolitan Toronto, Ontario, [[Canada]], and centred around the [http://www.utoronto.ca/ University of Toronto]. Although officially a [[canton]], it enjoys the unique designation of [[Royal Citie]]. |
|||
A famous set of document in Ealdormere are the [[Chronicles of Eoforwic]], which detail the history of the Royal Citie (and therefore of the [[SCA]] in Ontario) from its earliest days. |
|||
The City is protected by the ''Royal City Guard'', comprised of the [[Guardsmen of Eoforwic]] ([[heavy fighter]]s) and the Night Watch (elite [[fencer]]s of the group). |
|||
A common saying in Ealdormere is "''Everything you've heard about Eoforwic is true.''" |
|||
Recently, a rousing drinking song called ''It's Good to Be Us'', has been written by Master [[Hector of the Black Height]], making that same phrase a very popular catchall in Eoforwic. This song, with it's rousing chorus, <br>''It's good to be us, yes it's good to be us,<br>We are the Royal Citie, what's left to discuss?''<br> has been adopted (somewhat to the irritation of the rest of Ealdormere) as the unofficial anthem of the canton. |
