The Adrian Empire is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the study and recreation of Western European culture between the years 1066 and 1603. Our members work to recreate the arts and skills of this era. We also include other cultures that commonly interacted with the Western Europeans during our time frame. This exciting development means there is now even more rich history, culture, and tradition to explore!

"The true "Dream" for Adria is that in the chaotic world of our mundane lives, much like the chaotic times in medieval history, we can create and uphold a society where individuals from all walks of life are made equal, no matter what rank or title, all have the same opportunities and all are expected to uphold the same chivalric ideals. "The Dream" is exemplifying the best qualities of medieval history and applying them, not only within Adria but within each of ourselves and in thus, making our mundane lives a better place to exist. Self-indulgence and oppressiveness are prohibited. Fellowship, compassion, and a need to keep matters simple and to the point are to be embodied by the populace. As founders, our future "Dream" for Adria was that each member would hold a true and honest love for Adria so as to nurture and help her grow into a shining example of what a Noble Society could have been in the past and perhaps should be today and in the future."
