Welcome to DunOr.org
We are a Barony located in the Antelope Valley, high in Southern California, and encompassing the geographic area from Palmdale to the Tehachapi mountains. Made up of a smaller population but mighty in our members, we are very proud of their contributions within the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). A true valley of Kings, for our Caidan Chapter has contributed 4 of the last 7 crowned since the Spring of 2006. We welcome all who are interested in our mission as a non-profit, educational, and historical society dedicated to reliving and recreating the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

As you may have heard we have announced our retirement as of the next Dun Or Baronial anniversary. In order to select our heirs we are seeking letters of intent for those that wish to serve as the next Baron and Baroness of Dun Or. The deadline for letters of intent is January 31, 2010. Those that wish to serve should keep in mind that while the positions of Baron and Baroness have great rewards, and also bear great responsibility. These positions entail a considerable amount of work. Those chosen, will represent the Barony to the rest of the Kingdom. The Baron and Baroness are expected to frequently travel to all corners of the Kingdom in order to properly represent the Barony. If you are interested, please submit a letter detailing any qualifications that you feel are relevant via e-mail or letter to the Baron, Baroness and the Seneschal by the deadline.
