River Dragons
Mission Statement
Where friends, chivalry, war and fun all come together. We are a household in the Society for Creative Anachronism - playing in the southern end of the Kingdom of Antir - mostly in the Portland-metro area. We aim to Serve the Dream by serving our local leaders & groups, the SCA community in general and each other.
History
The River Dragons as an initial concept started as a warband - a group of war fighters who train together as a cohesive unit for war scenarios. Currently, River Dragon members can be found excelling in multiple disciplines throughout An Tir: Heavy fighters, target archers, youth champions, and the pursuit of A&S projects. The household is now primarily service-oriented, with members making a point to participate heavily in volunteer opportunities.
Events
The River Dragons as a household, in conjunction with The Barony Of Three Mountains, holds Tryggvy's War, a biennial event held in even-numbered years. Here the members of the household strive to and excel in the art of running a successful event. Innovations traditional at Tryggvy's War are the Merchant's Row Brute Squad (helping merchants to load and unload, and setup), the "Pick, Pass, or Play" Bardic (non-competitive), and a real emphasis on activities for non-fighters throughout the event.
