Actually, Perilous Journey went defunct a few years after I left there.

The name came actually from one of Duke Merowald's maps of the Known
World,
which showed a shire in the far east of Drachenwald called "Perilous
Journey".
I thought it had to be Berlin, but when I got there, there was no shire
in
Berlin, and Drachenwald had never had a Shire of Perilous Journey.  So I
founded the shire in Berlin, using the name from the map; it was the
only
SCA branch behind the Iron Curtain.
