The Barony of Loch Salann is the Salt Lake City chapter of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). We are a branch of the Kingdom of Artemisia, which covers most of Utah, Idaho, Montana, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado.
The Barony of Loch Salann’s main activities occurs primarily in and around Salt Lake City, Utah. Our regional coverage also includes Midvale, Kearns, Park City, Sandy, West Valley, and Tooele. Other nearby groups include the Barony of Gryphon’s Lair, centered in Ogden, the Province of Arrow’s Flight, centered in Provo, and the Shire of Cote du Ciel, centered in Logan.
As a collective group, we regularly sponsor medieval oriented events throughout most of Utah, southern Idaho, Montana, and the parts of Colorado and Wyoming that are west of the Continental Divide. Local activities also include regular gatherings in which our members practice and enjoy the various medieval activities that interest them.
If so, you probably have many questions, and you are not sure where to begin. Do not feel discouraged, we have created a page just for you that contains a load of information to help get you started.
Ever dream of swinging a sword in full armor like Knights of long ago? Or using a Great Axe to break through your enemies defenses? Ever wanted to lead an epic charge across the field to crush a shield wall? Then heavy combat might just be for you.
Using blunt steel swords this is a game of grace, speed, precision and elegance. Its been called “Chess at 90mph”, but at times it feels faster than that! Learn from period masters like Capo Ferro, Gigante, Fabris, and others.
Try your hand at piercing the bulls-eye whether it be a knife, axe, spear, or even a bow and arrow. We can set you on the right path with our Archery and Thrown weapon programs where you can hone your skills and have some ranged fun.
How did you make that? Can you teach me? If you find yourself asking this a lot, then Arts & Sciences might be for you. A sample of activities include sewing, wood carving, leather working, blacksmithing, and even brewing!
