The '''Kingdom of Lochac''' comprises all [[SCA]] [[groups]] in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] (as of Lochac [[May Crown tourney (Lochac)|May Crown]], [[2003]]).

The Australian groups were previously the [[Principality]] of Lochac, part of the [[Kingdom of the West]]. The New Zealand groups were formerly part of the [[Kingdom of Caid]].

The name ''Lochac'' comes from the writings of [[Marco Polo]], where he catalogs the lands to the south. Lochac is described as a land south of Java with a [[sovereign]] [[king]]. Late [[16th century|sixteenth century]] [[map]]s can be found with Luchac, Beach and Maletur forming part of a large mainland area in the position of [[Western Australia]].

When the [[SCA]] groups in a region fulfill [[kingdom|certain criteria]] (as specified by [[Corpora]]), they can become a [[kingdom]], provided sufficient [[member]]s wish to do so. This occurred in [[Australia]] in July [[2002]].

==[[Heraldry]]==
The [[device]] of the Kingdom of Lochac is: ''[[Quarterly]] [[azure]] and [[argent]], on a [[cross]] [[gules]] a [[crown]] between four [[mullet]]s of six points, [[in canton]] a [[laurel wreath]] [[argent]]''.

==[[Royalty]]==

Groups in Lochac

2008-03-23T03:12:27Z

D'gaunt: /* Colleges */

The following is a list of [[groups]] within the [[Kingdom of Lochac]]

You can obtain an up-to-date list here:

http://www.sca.org.au/lochac/groups/groups.php

This list is taken from a database maintained by the [[Kingdom]] [[Seneschal]] and also contains up to date lists of group contacts. Furthermore, the database contains a mapping from [[Australia]]n groups to Postcodes so that you can enter your postcode or suburb name into the web form and it will tell you what group you belong to.

Some interesting fluff about groups in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]]:

* All groups have a set of postcodes assigned, except groups in [[New Zealand]] and colleges. The [[registrar]]'s database uses the same mapping so that your membership card will have the correct group on it based on your postcode.
* [[New Zealand]] groups are assigned by telephone area code.
* [[College]]s are assigned by personal choice -- if you say on your membership form that you're in a college then that's what the [[registrar]] will put on your membership card and that's what the [[Kingdom]] [[Seneschal]] will assign your membership to.
* If you belong to a college then you also count towards the membership of the group in which you live (not the group where the college is based), so that if you live in Arrowsreach but are a member of St Monicas then your membership will count towards Arrowsreach and not Krae Glas.

Membership assignment to groups is important -- to count as an official group, a [[shire]], [[canton]], or [[college]] must have 5 members and a [[barony]] must have 25. Note that as of October 2004 all members, including family and associate members, count towards group numbers.

{{SCA Kingdom box|name = Lochac|color = blue|metal = white|device = [[image:Armsoflochac.png|200px]] | caption = [[Quarterly]] [[azure]] and [[argent]], on a [[cross]] [[gules]] a [[crown]] between four [[mullet]]s of six points, [[in canton]] a [[laurel wreath]] [[argent]]. | founded = A.S.

The '''Kingdom of Lochac''' comprises all [[SCA]] [[groups]] in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] (as of Lochac [[May Crown tourney (Lochac)|May Crown]], [[2003]]).

The Australian groups were previously the [[Principality]] of Lochac, part of the [[Kingdom of the West]]. The New Zealand groups were formerly part of the [[Kingdom of Caid]].

The name ''Lochac'' comes from the writings of [[Marco Polo]], where he catalogs the lands to the south. Lochac is described as a land south of Java with a [[sovereign]] [[king]]. Late [[16th century|sixteenth century]] [[map]]s can be found with Luchac, Beach and Maletur forming part of a large mainland area in the position of [[Western Australia]].

When the [[SCA]] groups in a region fulfill [[kingdom|certain criteria]] (as specified by [[Corpora]]), they can become a [[kingdom]], provided sufficient [[member]]s wish to do so. This occurred in [[Australia]] in July [[2002]].

==[[Heraldry]]==
The [[device]] of the Kingdom of Lochac is: ''[[Quarterly]] [[azure]] and [[argent]], on a [[cross]] [[gules]] a [[crown]] between four [[mullet]]s of six points, [[in canton]] a [[laurel wreath]] [[argent]]''.
