Their Excellencies of Carillion are appointed by the Reigning Monarchs after consulting the Populace of the Barony. They represent their Royal Majesties and with their grace hold courts where they can recognize the people of Carillion with Baronial Awards and gifts.
Greetings from your Baronesses! As we had into fall and the upcoming cold weather, we are looking forward to indoor events. We hope to see many of you at 100 Minutes War, Bhakail Yule and, of course, our Baronial Birthday, Bellringers! As we approach the end of our time as your Baronesses, we are reflecting on the fun we have had and the joy you all have brought us. We look forward to the upcoming polling and the selecting of our heirs! We wish you all a wonderful upcoming holiday season!

This past weekend was one of our favorite events – Ghost, Ghouls and Goblins! The weather was fantastic, and the event was beautiful. There was a super fun archery shoot. There were horses and people on horses doing archery. There were pumpkins and siege weapons, and pumpkins being flung from siege weapons! Our outgoing Champions ran wonderful events, and we welcomed new Champions. There was a fabulous day and an awesome feast! Many thanks to the staff and volunteers for all the work we know goes into this event!

The Barony of Carillion is located in the East Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It covers all of Ocean, Monmouth, Mercer, as well as parts of Burlington and Middlesex counties. We have two cantons: Forestgate (currently in abeyance) and The Keep by the Endless Sea. As a group we learn about life in the Middle Ages by getting involved in activities such as brewing, fighting, fencing, archery, calligraphy, music, dancing, cooking, and costuming among others.
What is the SCA?
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international non-profit volunteer educational organization. The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other educational presentations and activities.
Members of the SCA study and take part in a variety of activities, including combat, archery, equestrian activities, costuming, cooking, metalwork, woodworking, music, dance, calligraphy, fiber arts, and much more. If it was done in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, odds are you’ll find someone in the SCA interested in recreating it.
