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.

The Barony of the Citadel of the Southern Pass is a barony within the Kingdom of the Outlands[1], 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)[2] 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.
