WELCOME

This is the Kingdom of Avacal Wiki. A wiki is a website anyone can edit.

The purpose of this wiki is to provide a way for the people of the Kingdom of Avacal to cooperatively collect and describe our history and culture. (For inspiration, take a look at the West Kingdom's History Project and other SCA wikis.)

The history of our Kingdom is not just one person's memories, but all our memories together.

The culture of our Kingdom is not the habits and practices of just one person or branch, but all of us together.
