Insula Magna, the Great Isle of An Tir.

Insula Magna is how Vancouver Island is often referred to within An Tir. There are at present, six branches on the Great Isle, plus one which plays with us more often than elsewhere:

• The Shire of Cragmere - Courtenay - Comox - Campbell River
• The Port of Crickstow-on-Sea - CFB Esquimalt Medieval Club
• The Shire of False Isle - Powell River & area
• The Shire of Hartwood - Nanaimo & area
• The Shire of Ravensley - Port Alberni, Parksville, Qualicum Beach & Coombs area
• The College of Saint Giles - University of Victoria Medieval Club
• The Barony of Seagirt - Victoria & area

Activities

There is an Insula Magna Campus serving this area in the University of Ithra.

Information Sources

Insula Magna has an unofficial website, The Insula Magna Blue Pages (http://bluepage.tirrigh.org). (Not being an offfical branch, it can't have an offical site.) The site has a Calendar and the ever-popular Forums for the Island. Originally started as the Upper Island Blue pages, their mandate changed to include the Barony of Seagirt, so now all groups are represented on the Blue Pages.

Notes:

Insula Magna is not a branch - it can't be, since only Principalities and Kingdoms can be made up of a group of branches, hence it has no official existence. At the moment, the name cannot be registered as the only way to do so would be as a household name, and Insula Magna is not acceptable to the College of Heralds as such. However, the badge has been registered and is freely available for use by all who live within Insula Magna's precincts.
