Siar Geata
a Shire of Dragonspine, located in Escondido, CA (A northern suburb of San Diego)
(Siar Geata intends to join Westmarch as soon as possible)
Heraldry
A sunset over a sandy beach.
History
Siar Geata is the name taken by two struggling shires in the San Diego area, Strathclyde and Nazzeroc. They merged in August of 2006. The original Strathclyde members have all since been consumed by Real Life.
It took almost a year, but they're finally making Barony numbers. Attendance has been growing steadily since the usual drop around the holidays. One upon a time, 10 fighters was a good day. Siar Geata's largest turn-out to date was on 5/26/07, when 28 people attended.
Attendance has been greatly improved since a recent 2-weekend demo at the Escondido Ren Faire. They've averaged well over 20 ever since. Prior to the demo, the park record attendance was 16.
They have been privileged to be visited/raided/crushed by Sir Clalibus, Sir Father Thomas, Dame Wynd, Sir Drakknar, and Warlord Thedro... driving home the point that Milamber, Tremere, and Lucas are just big fish in a little pond.
Having received their contract back from BL, Siar Geata recently held an Althing, unanimously deciding to petition Dragonspine for membership. They further agreed to request membership in Westmarch as soon as it became an official entity. On or about July 14th, 2007, Siar Geata officially joined Dragonspine.

Directions
- [Kit Carson Community Park], just off I15.
From the 15, take the Via Rancho Parkway exit east. Via Rancho transforms into Bear Valley. Take the first park entrance on the left (first left after the Beethoven Drive light). Siar Geata meets in the field near the jungle gyms and covered picnic area on the left just after that first stop sign.
They also hold fighter practice every Wednesday night at Tremere's place, also in Escondido. Check the yahoo group page, below, for further information.
Warning
San Diego County forbids anyone from carrying or firing "archery devices" in public parks... without permission, permit, etc etc. Such permits are impossible to obtain. It is difficult to tell whether this applies to parks in Escondido (which is in San Diego County, but not the city of SD proper).
Siar Geatans have been using bows at Kit Carson for several months now, without issue... thus far. We have been observed doing so by park rangers and off-duty police officers, none of whom made any comment one way or the other. This bodes well.
