The Barony of Loch Soilleir (in Clear Lake, TX) is located in the Coastal Region of the Stellar Kingdom of Ansteorra, which encompasses most of Texas and Oklahoma. We are a part of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group that seeks to creatively recreate the arts and skills of the Middle Ages (600-1600 AD) in the modern world.
