History
The now defunct Barony of Gryphon's Haven was founded in the summer of 1993 in Pampa, Texas. The Barony was located in the Kingdom of Golden Plains. The original founding members were Thrannthalis Aspen aka Thrann Von Doom, Ryu Ivan Spellbound, Drahgo Von Rudy, Corwyn Ash, Nakamura Toda-Mashi Kyoshiro, and Perrin Silverwolf.
The Barony was founded as a result of the founding members dissatisfaction with certain limitations of SCA, namely the limitation on age. They began to meet in Central Park in Pampa after having attended a mid-reign event in the third reign of Golden Plains. Shortly thereafter, and with the help of such GP notables as Kamal and Dustin Darkenmane, the group gained Shire status. The group grew and added more members including Fionnigan Hellblazer, Banqou Hellblazer, ID, and Arklon. The group gained Barony status within a year of having been founded, with Thrann being the first to sit on the Baronial seat.
However the group could not sustain its status and eventually disbanded, partly from members losing interest and partly due to political maneuvers within the Kingdom. It could be officially stated that the Barony perished in 1995. Though some members have continued on and made a home for themsleves in other parks or even other Kingdoms.
