Welcome to Isenfir

The Shire of Isenfir is the local group of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) serving Charlottesville, Albemarle, Nelson, Waynesboro, Staunton, Harrisonburg, and the surrounding area. We study and re-create the Middle Ages and Renaissance — dancing, fencing, archery, crafts, and more.
