Fiefdoms
As a feudal society, the Kingdom of Ardesca is comprised of multiple fiefdoms within the Kingdom. Some of these are grouped or allied into larger counties/duchies, while the rest are simply independent fiefdoms within the Kingdom.

“What Fiefdom is closest to my physical location?”

First, it’s important to know that, unlike some other Medieval reenactment games, your physical location in relation to those of Fiefdoms or Kingdoms does not dictate which Fiefdom or Kingdom you must join. You are free to join any Fiefdom, so long as its Lords and members will have you…or remain At-Large. With that in mind, each Fiefdom listing will display a map of where it’s located. Or, you can view this map which will roughly pin the location where each Fiefdom is based in the Mundane Realm, with a link back to its page on this website.

Here is a list of all of the active fiefdoms within Ardesca, starting with our Counties and Duchies and then moving on to the Independent Fiefdoms.

Guilds
Our populace has many skilled artisans, historians, bards and more. As such, the Kingdom of Ardesca has groups that allow cross-branch collaboration around specific trades and interests. These guilds give people to opportunity to teach, learn, create and collaborate.

Rules
"This law was created to establish and protect an award and rank system within Ardesca based around the achievement of specified milestones; with the hope that it will encourage and affirm those who aspire to such, and to build a community around the arts and science of our Kingdom.

Guilds within Ardesca Guilds exist through the authority of the Crown, their purpose is to grow and expand the arts, science, and activities of the Kingdom and to help Citizens learn and engage with new skills. Guilds are to be overseen by the Royal Guild Master. Guilds are required to have a charter that explains the purpose of the Guild, leadership within the Guild and the Guild achievement system. Each Guild is to create a 3 tiered achievement system in which they can recognize and reward citizens for their achievements within the guild. Guilds are responsible for utilizing a token system to recognize each of the levels of achievement. Each achievement tier should build on the skills demonstrated in the previous tier and involve some level of research and participation. Guilds who participate in fundraising are required to report their finances to the Crown."
