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.
CARILLION WANTS YOU!
The Barony of Carillion is looking for deputies for all of our officers (and a couple officers too). None of the open positions require you to live in the barony nor attend business meetings in person. If you’re interested in learning more about a position, being a deputy is a great, low-pressure way to learn!
Our officers have done and been doing an amazing job for years and is such a great group to work with. We’d love to have you join the team and hear your ideas!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here or privately! Thank you!

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.
