The [[Barony]] of New Williamsburg is located in the southern hemisphere of the planet Manticore. Much of the barony just beyond the coast is characterized by rolling hills and numerous creeks and inlets found to be ideal for fishing and pleasure boating. The largest settlement is the city of New Williamsburg itself, though it is only a third as densely populated as Landing. The city radiates outward from the walls of Romero Keep, which sits on a point overlooking the confluence of the Silver Gulf and Southern Ocean. The remainder of the barony's population is spread out amongst coastal villages and unincorporated land. | The [[Barony]] of New Williamsburg is located in the southern hemisphere of the planet Manticore.

Romero Keep students who successfully go on to Saganami Island do so with credits sufficient for a minor in Leadership Studies. The keep's Captain Lannie Kenton Memorial Library has received high praise for its extensive collection relating to Manticoran and Old Earth naval history and for hosting the widely popular Leadership Forum on an annual basis. | <br>'''Romero Keep''' - Site of an eponymous preparatory school for those aspiring to attend the Royal Manticoran Naval Academy.
