The Iron ring was founded in 2004, as the brainchild of Lord Heinrich von Arenburg. There were 7 original members upon its inception: Darius von Arenburg, Talia Soranzo da Chioggia, Kiernan (Tom Kennedy), Stavis Vladimir Kraskov, Nynadin Kraskov, Cailin MacGregor, Iuliana de la Sara and Jose Cabrera de Castilla.
Command was passed to Nicolai Rabenis Von Tachov in fall 2007 and he has been at the helm through several iterations of the household.
Members of the Iron Ring live primarily in the Portland metro area, in the Barony of Dragon's Mist but span from Ashland, Oregon the Barony of Glyn Dwfn to Seattle, Washington the Baronies of Madrone and Wyewood.
Mission Statement

As time went on, Iron Ring transitioned into a service Household, focusing on providing service to any and all SCA branch through logistics, officerships and event staff participation. Most recently the household has turned in the previous few years to a focus of interpersonal support for it's household members and communities to further all in their SCA dreams and goals. We shall endeavor lead by positive example and follow the positive example of others in all pursuits.
