Gulf Wars Royalty (2025)

Greetings unto the people of the Known World, We are so very pleased that you are here to attend what We know to be the friendliest war around. This week will be one filled with so many activities, and We hope you get a chance to try them all (and if you don’t there is always next year)! Take a class or two, shop at the market, watch a battle, throw a spear, sing a song, stop by Volunteer Point, but most importantly, spend time with your friends and hopefully make a few new ones. As the sun sparkles through banners waving in the sky, illuminating all the colors of the rainbow, We hope that your week is filled with as many magical moments and memories as possible. We want this week to be as inclusive as possible, so that everyone has the most fun that they can, and to continue the wonderful tradition of this War without Enemies. In Service to the Dream, Griffin & Belisencia,

King & Queen, Gleann Abhann

Greetings to our fellow Gulf Wars enthusiasts!

We are delighted to be at Gulf Wars again, and super ecstatic that we get to be Crown at Gulf Wars again!

We have been working diligently with the Crowns of the other Treaty Kingdoms to plan an interesting and exciting war for everyone. The Treaty Kingdom Crowns felt it was time to try some new things, so we added more war points and rearranged the schedule a bit. Every now and then you have to try new things!

Thank you so much to all of you for coming to Gulf Wars. It is one of our most favorite events in the SCA. Enjoy your time with old and new friends!

Jean Paul and Gilyan

King and Queen of Ansteorra

We, Drust and Kira, Crown of Trimaris, are delighted to welcome each and every one of you to this grand event. This coming together of the Knowne World has been one of our most cherished traditions, offering moments of connection, celebration, and joy. Whether this is your first Gulf Wars or your thirty-third, we are confident that you will experience the magic of stepping into the Middle Ages, where history and imagination intertwine.

There is so much to experience and enjoy. Fighters demonstrate courage and skill on the battlefield, craftspeople showcase their extraordinary creations, and merchants offer treasures to delight every taste. Across the grounds, equestrians display mastery with their noble steeds, archers hit their marks with precision, and dancers bring communities together with rhythm and joy. Bards enchant us with their songs and stories, while cooks and brewers provide delicious food and refreshing drinks to sustain us throughout the day. Teachers and artisans generously share their knowledge, offering countless opportunities to learn and grow.

This event would not be possible without the efforts of the volunteers who have dedicated their time, skills, and energy to making this gathering a success. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you—your contributions, both great and small, are the foundation of this incredible experience.

Together, let us celebrate the spirit of camaraderie, creativity, and community that makes Gulf Wars so special. Vivat to all of you! Bring your best! Let’s create memories that will last a lifetime!  Lay on! 

With gratitude and joy,
Drust and Kira, Crown of Trimaris
