The '''Barony of Loch Salann''' is the [[SCA]] [[group]] in Salt Lake City, Utah, [[USA]]. It is part of the [[Kingdom of Artemisia]].

Official homepage: http://www.loch-salann.org/

== Early History ==

===Shire Years===
In early [[1977]], a group of folk at a Star Trek club meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah had a guest speaker. This person mentioned the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]]. One of the locals, Ms. Claire Spencer, had been to several SCA events in [[Germany]] during her tour of duty as an [[America]]n military service member. After the meeting, several participants met with Ms. Spencer and she shared what she knew with them.

Prior to March, 1977 ([[A.S. XI]]), this group met to plan a group in the Salt Lake City metro area. An undated piece of paper indicates the following:

Our Shire – “The Great Salt Wastes�?
* [[Seneschal]] – Claire Spencer (at the time [[KITSCA]] Sorcha O’Melachlin, later Ferelith MacDonald)
* [[Herald]] – Julia (Howarth) West (at the time [[KITSCA]] Rhonwen y Llysieuydd, later Rhonwen y Llysieuyddes).
* [[Knight Marshal]] – Lonnie
* [[Mistress of Arts]] – Nerissa Wilhite (at the time [[KITSCA]] Elaine of the Lion’s Tale).
* [[Chronicler]] – Jerilyn (Woods) Foster (at the time [[KITSCA]] Jerilyn of Vert Silva.
* [[Hospitaller]] – Claire and Julia

About this time the group decided on a name for their fledgling [[shire]]. They chose [[Gaelic]] for reasons not [[documentation|documented]] and the name was “am Mor Salann Fasach�?. They later discovered that this was very bad Gaelic, and when the group was upgraded to [[Barony|Baronial]] status, they changed the name to “Loch Salann�? (literally “Salt Lake�?).

The first documented meeting occurred on March 13th, 1977 (still A.S. XI).

The first issue of The Questing Quill, the group’s official [[newsletter]] was published on 8 July 1977 ([[A.S. XII]]). Jerilyn of Vert Silva was the editor and publisher.

The group held several [[event]]s during the remainder of 1977 and [[1978]]. During this period members of the group would often travel to the nearest local groups for [[fighter practice]]s and events. [[Al-barran]] ([[Kingdom of the Outlands]]), which is Albuquerque, New Mexico was a common destination for the fledgling group.

The new group was extremely active and held or participated in an event or [[demo]] nearly every month in 1977 and 1978.

===Keynote Reoccuring Events===
* '''Baronial Defender Tourey/Baronial Birthday''': Held in March to honor the creation of the Salt Lake City group (March 13, 1977).

The consort of the winners of the three tournaments are known as ‘Lady (or Lord) Shrimp-bait’ as the purpose of the tournaments is to select champions from Loch Salann to set forth and destroy the Great Brine Shrimp ( also known as the great saline-swilling demon decapod ). This tournament may be the most hotly contested in Loch Salann.

The event is held at the Castle Theatre east of the Utah Mental Hospital on the last weekend of May or the first weekend in June. The theatre is built into the foothills of the Wasatch Front mountains. The theme of the event is melee fighting. Fights must be at least two on one or more. The site has stone ramps, stairways and court for some of the most realistic siege fighting that can be found in Artemisia.
* '''Baroness’ Champion/Baronial Arts and Sciences''': Held in October. Tournaments are held for the heavy armored and rapier fighers for the honor of being the Baroness’ personal champion for the next twelve months. This is a position of great honor. Also, the Barony of Loch Salann is known for tough competition and judging of the Art and Sciences. The victor serves as the Arts and Sciences Champion until the following October.
* '''Winter Solstice Court''': A high court event held on the first or second weekend of December. At this event, the Baron and Baroness provide gifts to their populace, “pay�? their officers, musicians, court and guards. The feast is generally a five to seven remove affair. Until recently a tradition of this event was an Order of Precedence processional of the members of the Barony. Unfortunately, now that over 200 members regularly attend Solstice Court, it is unlikely that this tradition will be continued.

Gvs08021961: /* Laurels in the SCA */ Added snippet concerning usage of "OL" after names by memberds of the order.

The symbol of the [[laurel wreath]] was traditionally given to [[scholar]]s, artists, athletes and [[soldier]]s in [[Ancient Greece]] as [[symbol]]s of excellence. This symbolism is still with us today with the word ''Baccalaureate'' or laurel-berry, as a title for people who, for example, have completed a bachelor degree at university.

''Laurus nobilis'', also known as [[Bay_tree | Bay-Leaves]] was used in the middle ages as [[incense]] and [[cooking]].

==Laurels in the SCA==
In the [[SCA]], entry into the [[Order]] of the '''Laurel''' is awarded to those who excel in a particular area of [[Arts and Sciences]], and it's in the job description for them to pass on knowlege to others. These people also judge [[A&S]] competitions, pass on recommendations to the [[Crown]] as to who future laurels should be, and are examples of courtesy and chivalric conduct. A Laurel may take on an [[apprentice]] to train up to 'laurelhood', often in a particular field similar to their own.

Becoming a Laurel (or any type of [[peer]]) takes about 10 years of dedicated work, on average.

A Laurel is addressed with the [[title]] of Master or Mistress, and bears a symbol of the laurel wreath. Some may also wear a [[Chain of Fealty]] if they are in [[fealty]] to the [[Crown]].

Masters and Mistresses of the Laurel are granted the privilege of appending the letters "OL" after their name (eg: Caryn von Katzenberg, OL).

==Kingdom Specific Information==
The [[Lochac]] Order of the Laurel have a web page: http://www.sca.org.au/laurels

Gvs08021961: Cleaned up the wording of the possible philosophical meaning of KITSCA vs. MKA

'''K'''nown '''I'''n '''T'''he '''SCA''' (as).

This was a common acronym found in the signature block of many early postings on the old [[Rialto]] as well as early e-mail and list servers. Its usage has fallen in recent years.

'''Example''': ''Joe Binotz'' KITSCA ''Ulrich Wordsbane.''

The opposite of this is "[[MKA]]", or "[[Mundane]]ly Known As".

'''Example''': ''Ulrich Wordsbane'' MKA ''Joe Binotz''.

This may reflect a difference in how some members of the [[Society]] view their [[persona]] relative to their real-world identity. "KITSCA" may reveal an attitude wherein the member considers their [[persona]] to be less important than their [[mundane]] real-world identity. The use of "MKA" would seem to credit one's persona with at least as much if not more importance than their mundane identity, at least when communicating in SCA-oriented channels.

This may reflect a change in the self-perception of members of the Society. KITSCA may reveal an attitude that the member identifies with their [[persona]] as less important than their [[mundane]] real-world identity. MKA would seem to give the persona aspect with at least as much, if not more importance than their mundane identity, at least when communicating in SCA-oriented channels.

'''Note: Is there a category for SCA-specific "culture" or "anthropology" or usages that are not historically based?''' This subject would fit that category.
