Greetings! My name is Forester Cadfan of the Autumn Wood, and I have the honor of serving as the Castellan for the Barony of the Cleftlands. One of the most rewarding parts of this role is welcoming newcomers and helping them feel at home within our vibrant and diverse community. Whether you’re just beginning your journey in the SCA or returning after time away, I’m here to support you as you find your place in the Barony.
If you need help with anything—be it finding garb, getting involved in crafts or martial activities, connecting with others, or simply navigating your first event—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you, answer your questions, and help however I can. The Barony thrives on the warmth and participation of its members, and I’m here to ensure your experience is both welcoming and enriching.
