The Barony of the Flaming Gryphon is the west-central Ohio branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Incorporated (SCA). Founded in 1979, the Barony is held in fief from the Crown of the Middle Kingdom by Their Excellencies Master Dafydd Blaidd and Baroness Meriel Fitzwilliam. The Barony serves several modern counties in Ohio, and is composed of six branches of the SCA. Our newsletter is The Gryphon's Tale, and The Gryphon Pages is the Baronial directory.
"No, no! The adventures first," said the Gryphon in an impatient tone: "explanations take such a dreadful time."
- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Whether you are brand new to the SCA or a long-time member just moving into the area, we're glad you came!
