Kingdom of Umbria

Arizona

Out of the ashes of the Kingdom of Pembroke a new phoenix was born. Across the deserts of Arizona, the lion’s roar can be heard. Reborn as the Duchy of Umbria, it started fresh with a small core of about 20 people; devoted to making the duchy a place people would enjoy once again while recreating the middle ages. Over the next few years the duchy grew. In September 1998 it was again recognized as a Kingdom. Umbria has slowly made a name for itself with the support of a diverse, strong-willed, tenacious group of people wanting to create a better Umbria for all to enjoy. Umbria may have been called a lot of things over the years, but no one can say we are quitters. Umbria could have gone away but it hasn’t, as you well know.

Umbria has shown time and time again its prowess on the field of Combat. Just say the words Banner War or National Steel Tourney and Umbria is in the forefront. Umbrian Fighters are zealous in their fighting and devoted to their discipline. Umbrians have the privilege of being surrounded by true artistic talent. We have an exceptional group of artisans who always amaze us with their ability to do phenomenal work that range from bardics that are over 400 lines long (delivered flawlessly by pure memorization), to paintings that take your breath away. The artisans with skill in the kitchen serve the food, from fantastic desserts to a scrumptious bread pudding. Those with the knack to create a mean mead or a tongue-tantalizing cordial are Umbrian treasures. Archery has been firmly established in Umbria with the help of a few people who are truly giving of their time and talent, helping others to become better.
