Middle Kingdom Map

NFS

This page is a world map of the Middle Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism circa 1986. It was made for the Middle Kingdom's Great Booke, a master work created by several volunteer artisans. This book is a thick, large format medieval book of the ceremonies of the SCA Middle Kingdom, all hand calligraphed, illuminated, and bound in wood with a leather spine. The map shows all of the local chapter branches of the Middle Kingdom at that time. For you non-SCA people, the explanation is that we have a very large medieval history society and the main regional chapters are divided into territories called kingdoms. Local branches are called Baronies, Shires, and Cantons.

The water masses on this map are laid in with pure malachite, a powdered semi precious stone. The corner blocks are 23k gold.
