Ildhafn is Lochac’s tenth Barony, and it is based in Auckland, North Island, New Zealand.

Along with Barony of Southron Gaard and the Shire of Darton, Ildhafn is one of the groups that make up the region in Lochac referred to as the Crescent Isles.

Ildhafn was initially formed in 1994. In September 1996, Ildhafn was made a Shire of the Kingdom of Caid and on 21 June 2003, the group joined the Kingdom of Lochac and was elevated to Barony status.

Saint Catherine is the Barony’s patron saint and they celebrate her feast day at St Catherine’s Faire each year.

In AS 38, the Kingdom of Caid granted Ildhafn an Augmentation of Arms in recognition of their long ties with said Kingdom.
