			The '''Barony of the Citadel of the Southern Pass''' is a barony within the [[Kingdom of the Outlands]], part of the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] (SCA). It is located in the modern-day counties of El Paso and Hudspeth in Texas. It is notable as the only portion of Texas not belonging to the [[Kingdom of Ansteorra]].

			== Heraldry ==
			The registered arms of the Barony of the Citadel of the Southern Pass are: ''Azure, masoned argent, a goblet within a laurel wreath and a chief embattled Or.'' This device symbolizes the Citadel’s strength, hospitality, and connection to the arts and community.

			== History ==
			The Citadel was founded on October 1st, A.S. XVII (1983 CE) while the Outlands was still a principality of the [[Kingdom of Atenveldt]]. The first Baron and Baroness were Sir Jochen von Balduinseck and Mistress Monika von Zell, invested by King Christopher and Queen Constance of Atenveldt. It became the fourth barony to be founded in what would become the Kingdom of the Outlands.

			The Citadel was once styled "The Gateway to the Crown Lands of Argonia," encompassing all Outlands territory not claimed by another kingdom from the Mexican border south to Tierra del Fuego. Though unofficial, this made the Citadel one of the largest territories in the Known World, in theory.

			It is the home of several notable firsts in the Outlands, including:

			The Premier Laurel of the Outlands

			The Premier of the Queen’s Cypher of the Outlands

			The Premier of the Stag & Chalice

			The Citadel is also the home of two of the last Princes of the Principality of the Outlands before it achieved kingdom status.

			== Saints of the Citadel ==

			=== St. Edrik of the Citadel ===
			St. Edrik, also known as Edrik Beroldsson, was a beloved figure within the Citadel and the son of Vicomte Berold de Gilbert and the Lady Shala Shalimpour. Known for his large nose and bright spirit, he was widely admired and eventually canonized after his untimely death.

			He was the first Premier of the Queen's Cypher, squired to his father and later to Sir Conrade, and served the Citadel both on and off the field. After his passing, three miracles were attributed to him, leading to his canonization:

			An enemy weapon turning into straw during battle

			An apparition helping free a wagon stuck on a rock

			A ghostly nose deflecting a blow during a tournament

			St. Edrik is the Patron Saint of Squires and Children with Extremely Large Noses. His feast day is celebrated every day of the year, with no fasting days. His relics include his dagger, one boot, and signet ring. The Militant Order of the Knights of St. Edrik continues to honor his legacy.

			Device: ''Per pale embattled sable and argent, crusilly couped gules, in dexter chief a horse’s head couped argent.''
