New Canton email Addresses!

We’re finally in the last stages of assigning new official SCA Ritterwald email addresses for Canton officers! Soon it will be possible to contact them all at <office name>@ritterwald.atlantia.sca.org.

We’re also establishing an address for our signature demo/event, NQQBR@ritterwald.atlantia.sca.org to facilitate event-related email communications.

Once the new addresses are live, they will be added to the Officer page.

Thanksgiving 2024

American Thanksgiving is a New World and just slightly out-of-period celebration, but festivals celebrating the harvest and giving thanks are very medieval! Starting with celebrations of the first harvests around the beginning of August and the last sometime between mid-September and mid-November, harvest festivals appear in many Period cultures.

This week, the people of Ritterwald extend their warm wishes for a safe and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
