Outremar 89029

  The Empire of Adria, a national 501c3 educational organization is dedicated to recreating the skills and activities of the middle ages and renaissance. 

  Outremar is an outlying area of the Archduchy of Albion-Rayonne in the Adrian Empire. Mundanely, we are geographically designated as Laughlin, Nevada (zip code 89029), and are located along the Colorado River, near Bullhead City, Arizona.

VISION STATEMENT

In the Beginning, the "Ideal" for Adria, as conceived and set forth by the Founders, was that in the chaotic world of our mundane lives, much like the chaotic times in medieval history, we could create and uphold a society where individuals from all walks of life, no matter what rank or title, all have the same opportunities and were all expected to uphold the same chivalric ideals. "The Ideal" was simply 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 were to be prohibited. Fellowship, compassion, and a need to keep matters simple and to the point were 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 also in the future.
