Who We Are

Viking Age Reenactment

Hammerstorm is a mercenary/warrior house within the Society of Creative Anachronism, SCA. As a mercenary house in the SCA, Hammerstorm is not composed solely of warriors. The house also has a share of individuals skilled in the arts that medieval persons would have. 

History

Early Years

Hammerstorm began in Wichita, Kansas (known in the SCA as the Barony of Vatavia in the Kingdom of Calontir) in 1987.  Our founder, First Jarl, Lord Thorgrim Igorsson and a couple others put together the concept in late 1986 to early 1987 and by mid 1987, the House became reality.  


Some of the early members are still Oath sworn to this day, though only Jarl Erik Arngrimsson remains active, while the others are inactive.  (To understand different statuses, one needs to read our by-laws which is a discussion for another time.)  


Hammerstorm made a name for themselves in the Midwest as a mercenary band of Vikings who could be counted on in battle.  Truly, some of the most glorious days were in the first 10 years of the House's history.  


From the first House came others, a West House (now defunct) in Reno Nevada (Province of the Silver Desert, Kingdom of the West), which thrived for many years, another in Las Vegas Nevada (Barony of Starkhafn, Kingdom of Caid), which sadly lasted only three years (now defunct), A northern House in Wisconsin (Kingdom of Northshield), A southern House in Louisiana (Shire of Ardanroe, Kingdom of Gleann Abhann), another in Arkansas (Also in the Kingdom of Gleann Abhann  which also had a short history (now defunct)), and most recently a new house in the Kindgom of Atenveldt(Barony of Twin Moons), and of course, this Northwest House, (Barony of Dragon's Mist, Kingdom of An Tir) which has thrived now for 13 years!

Celebrate Family
