The Adrian Empire is a 10 year old, non-profit,
educational medieval recreation group. Within the
years of 1100 to 1550, its members recreate the
arts, combat and ministerial/ambassadorial
functions of the middle ages.

Unlike many historical organizations, there are
three types of Knighthoods our members may work
towards, as in the actual medieval world:
combatant knighthoods, ministerial knighthoods and
arts/sciences knighthoods.

Our arts and sciences encompass anything and
everything that a member can document as having
existed during the time period we play in. Some
choose to try something different at each
competition, others focus in one specific area.
Whether garb or food, pottery or potions, siege
engines or alchemy, our arts tournaments welcome
all projects.

Advancement in the arts and sciences is determined
by tournaments won and "masterworks" achieved.
Masterwork is our designation of an entry that is
of perfect quality. As in the other branches of
Knighthood in Adria, artisans work toward specific
goals and criteria to earn their Knighthood.

For more information about the Adrian Empire, we
hope you will join us at our upcoming
demo November 12th in New York City.  Write or call 
for demos in other areas.
