The Duchy of Esperance
We are a chapter of the Adrian Empire which is a Non-Profit Educational Medieval Recreation Organization.
Our members study and re-create the arts, skills, and culture in the medieval and renaissance between 793 and 1625.
​​
We conduct regular monthly events with archery, arts, and combat tournaments as well as several camping events each year. We also setup demonstrations at schools, malls, markets, and myriad other events. Members can earn points to obtain knighthoods within the organization in various disciplines.
​
As an educational organization, we thrive on welcoming and teaching newcomers. Come join us!

Request the Labor of Our Scribes*
Reaching out first doesn't have to be your style. Our scribes await the opportunity to drop you a line.
*Our "scribe" is actually just our Crown Duke; but, we like to put him to work, too.
What We Do...
We do both target archery and "combat" archery including crossbows and siege equipment.
​
Archery is a staple of our monthly tournaments and we make a variety of bows available for newcomers to try.
Esperance is good at sharing.
