'''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|armoured combatants]]) and the Night Watch ([[fencer]]s). |
|||
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 has been made the unofficial anthem with its rousing chorus, |
|||
''It's good to be us, yes it's good to be us.'' |
|||
''We are the Royal Citie, what's left to discuss?'' |
