History
The Shire of Bitter End began in AS XVIII in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. The shire began with a poster in local game shops describing a formative meeting to start a new branch of the Society of Creative Anachronism.
The initial meeting was held by Conrad Von Gratz, Tatanga Mani (later Douglas Cameron of Skye), Lochlana of Crownwood, Rheanna Wheatenfeld, and Morgan the Unknown. Local attendees included folks who would be later known as the House of the Fallen Keep.
The purpose for the formation was described as a alternate to the internecine politics of the two large groups in Alberta at that time. The motto "Absent thoughts for absent friends" was coined.
