It comprises Northern California (including the San Francisco area), Nevada, Alaska, Japan, Korea and the Pacific Rim.

They held the first party as an outdoor sword fighting tournament using leather armour with some steel.

The kingdom has guilds and other groups, which regularly hold meetings to teach such subjects as dance, cooking, armourmaking, needlework, music and other interests.

[5] Like other parts of the SCA, the Kingdom of the West uses rattan weapons, generally of a standard authentic weight.

[7] In Japan (known in the SCA as the "Palatine Barony of the Far West"), its members combine to create larger scale combat with another group, the realm of Avalon, an independent Tokyo-based group of recreationists and fighters and with a number of local Japanese people among its members.
