Kingdom of the Outlands

The Kingdom of the Outlands (aka The Outlands) is, in the Society for Creative Anachronism, the twelfth oldest kingdom in the Known World. The kingdom is bounded on the west by Atenveldt and Artemesia, on the north again by Artemesia, on the east by the Midrealm, Calontir, and Ansteorra, and to the south by Argonia, which is populated by no SCA group (and to which we have the rightful claim, anyway).

In modern terms, it comprises the states of New Mexico, most of Colorado, parts of Wyoming, parts of Nebraska, and the Elspeth and Hudson counties of Texas. The Outlands also has a recognized claim to the lands south, namely Central and South America, known as Argonia, although there are currently no active groups there.

The arms of the Kingdom of the Outlands are³: Vert, a stag argent, attired and unguled, salient from between the boughs of a laurel wreath, in chief a Saxon crown, all within a bordure embattled Or.

¹ Here, incipient means a group which has enough people to form a group, has officers, and has been recognized by the Crown, but is not yet a full, official group. They are under the guidance of another, established group until the Crown elevates them. (At least, that is my understanding)

³ (In non-heraldic terms: on a green background, a white stag with gold antlers and hooves, leaping from between the boughs of a gold laurel wreath, a golden Saxon crown (a plain-ish one) above the stag and the laurel wreath, and then everything inside a gold border that looks like the embattlements on a castle.)
