The Barony of the Flaming Gryphon is the west-central Ohio chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), established in 1979. We study and recreate the arts, skills, and traditions of pre-17th century Europe, and we welcome everyone who shares that curiosity.
The Barony operates under the governance of the Middle Kingdom Crown and currently encompasses five SCA branches across multiple Ohio counties. Our members include armored combatants, fencers, archers, artisans, bards, heralds, and many more.
Current Leadership
Baron: Sir Timothy Just
