Revision as of 11:02, 4 August 2014

The Pennsic War (sometimes shorted simply to Pennsic) is the largest SCA event in the world. Held every August in Pennsylvania, USA, it is the traditional war between the East Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom. Once, the war was fought over territory (the loser getting Pittsburgh) but now it is fought over prestige.

The major combatants are the Midrealm and the East Kingdom, but every other kingdom in the Known World chooses one side or the other. Many kingdoms have traditional alliances to one side or another, others switch every year.

A.S. XLI saw the 35th running of the event that started out in a field in Ohio, and now consumes the resources of a small western Pennsylvania town for 3 weekends and the 2 weeks in between.

The Pennsic War 35 official attendance was 11,298 gentles from all corners of the Known World. Pennsic War 36 also had over 11,200 participants. Pennsic is a definite "must get to one day" for the hardened SCAdian. It's an amazing experience, with literally hundreds of collegia, days on end of tourney and war fighting, shopping that will send your credit card screeching for cover and thousands of other SCAdians to meet.

History

The history of the Pennsic War is somewhat unique. King Cariadoc of the Middle sent a declaration of war to the Eastrealm in A.S. V, but nothing ever came of it. In A.S. VII King Cariadoc of the East (he had moved and won a crown tourney in the interim) found the old declaration of war and promptly accepted, leading an army of Easterners west across the mountains. The Midrealm defeated them, making Cariadoc the first king in history to declare war on himself and lose.

Being the largest annual SCA event, it has been covered by the mainstream media. There have also been several documentaries made of the event, the largest being The Pennsic War: A Video Documentary by Duckball Home Video, which covered Pennsic XX.
