The Barony of Nordskogen

Oyez! Oyez!

This is the web page for the Barony of Nordskogen, a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization.

Our lands include the Twin Cities of Minneapols and Saint Paul in Minnesota and surrounding areas. Within those borders are two Baronial Colleges: The College of Tor Aerie, centered on the University of Minnesota and the College of Nordleigh, in Northfield.

Our Baron and Baroness hold these lands for the King and Queen of Northshield.
