History
Draca Mor was originally part of the Kingdom of Atenveldt, with its name registered in January 1985. Its device was registered in July 1986: Ermine, within a serpent-headed torc opening to chief vert surmounted by a sword sable, a laurel wreath vert.
In 2015, the branch was transferred from the Kingdom of Artemisia to the Outlands.
Activities and Events
The shire is active in community education and outreach, regularly participating in public demonstrations and local events.
One of its notable recurring events is The Mor You Know, a day of classes and demonstrations focused on medieval and Viking Age arts. Past sessions have included instruction in Viking bone flute, leather tooling, Younger Futhark runes, and illumination techniques. Rapier practice is also offered, depending on marshal availability.
Members of Draca Mor have also taken part in events such as the Valhalla Viking Festival, in partnership with the Garfield County Public Library, providing demonstrations on Viking-era crafts, instruments, clothing, and lifestyle.
