The Barony of Northkeep is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the Northern Region of Ansteorra, and was founded in 1978. It was earlier called Nord As Das Strom, although that name was never registered. Northkeep became a Barony in 1996.

The current Baron and Baroness are Facon du Pray and Keigan of Ravensfaire.

Northkeep has had Two Cantons:

• Rundel (McAlester, OK) which was dissolved in 2003.
• Chemin Noir (Bartlesville, OK) which is still active as of Fall, 2011. It's annual event is the Fair of the Harvest, although this has sometimes been combined with the Canton of Skorragarðr's annual event, Axeman.
