Carved in Stone
First wave of physical fulfilment to the UK / EU / Internationally (Except USA) expected late November. See the Digital Fulfilment tab for details on PDF distribution.
Carved in Stone is a comprehensive guide to early medieval Pictish society. Through its pages you will see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern scholars currently know of the Picts’ enigmatic culture.
Everything you need to tell stories, run games and go on adventures in Pictland are laid out across 5 dramatic acts:
- Contexts: Get up to speed on who the Picts were, and how we know what we know about them today.
- Landscapes: Navigate through ancient Scotland first-hand, hiking between shaded temperate rainforests, open lush peat bogs, and wind swept mountain peaks.
- Kingdoms: Chart out where you live, what languages you spread, and figure out who you can trust.
- Perspectives: Witness the spiritual, the magnificent, the divine and the mundane, and uncover how each weaves their way through Pictish society.
-
Lives: Experience daily Pictish life, from seasonal feasts to blacksmiths’ enchanted forge-fires. Find out what clothes are in your wardrobe, where you rest your head at night, and who you meet while travelling Pictland.
Produced in partnership with expert consultants across the Pictish academic sector, never before has so much research been distilled and lushly illustrated for the Picts.
Legends await in their past and your future!
"It's basically the best book on the Picts ever written" - Dr Adrián Maldonado, National Museums Scotland
