A hearty welcome to one and all to the website of the Principality of the Summits, the southernmost lands of the Kingdom of An Tir.

The SCA is a not-for-profit educational organization. It is part of the “living history” movement, which means that SCA members have a “hands-on” approach to history, engaging in activities that help explore the culture, arts, and sciences of ages past. Participants are encouraged to research and re-create pre-17th century societies around the world.

We welcome participants from all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, religious beliefs, or abilities. Respect, kindness and dignity shall be rendered to all, treating another as they wish to be treated, rather than as we wish ourselves to be treated.
