History

First of all, the Shire of Feanga no longer exists. It has merged with the Shire of the Silver Sun, and formed the Shire of the Eternal Coast.

Feanga (pronounced fey-ahn-gah) is a local Santa Barbara chapter of Amtgard. Amtgard chapters come in four sizes: shires, duchies, baronies and kingdoms, in order of ascending size. As we are relatively new, we are still a shire. Feanga is a word derived from the Sindarin roots for spirit (fea) and iron (anga), referring therefore to iron spirit. For the uninitiated, Sindarin is one of the elven languages invented by J.R.R. Tolkein for the world in which The Lord of the Rings is set.

Shire appears to have been active from 2004 to 2005.
