Come one, come all to the Barony of Adiantum this October and celebrate the camaraderie of friends!

The leaves are changing colors, and the air is crisp. The bear prepares for the long winter and the ripe apples are ready for harvesting. The Baronies of Adiantum and Terra Pomaria once again welcome you into the Bear and Apple to witness skill, prowess and creativity as championships are challenged. This year, we are privileged to host the Kingdom of An Tir’s Heraldic and Scribal Symposium and welcome participants with open arms and a warm hearth.

Nestled away on Pitcher Creek, a stone’s throw from the peaceful Row River, Baroun Evan and Baronin Ayla have staged this year’s festivities on a quiet manor. They, and Their Cousins Thegn Clovis and Baronessa Ximena of Terra Pomaria, cordially invite all to come and witness five different competitions:

  • Adiantum Heavy Defender Tournament
  • Adiantum Thrown Weapons Championship
  • Adiantum Bardic Championship
  • Terra Pomaria Rapier Championship
  • Terra Pomaria Arts & Sciences Championship

Along with these activities, there will be a wealth of classes offered on a wide variety of subjects. Watch this space for further details for classes offered at the Kingdom Heraldic and Scribal Symposium and the Bear and Apple.

This site features cabin space for approximately 200 persons. If you prefer to set up camp, there is also space to set up tents. In addition, there is space for roughly 36 RVs. There are permanent, indoor bathrooms in three different buildings and approximately 15 indoor showers.

The site is DISCREETLY WET and bottles must be packed off-site and disposed of elsewhere.

Pets are not allowed. Service Animals and Companion Animals are permitted. Our site’s insurance does not cover them from damage caused by pit bulls, rottweilers and other aggressive animals; therefore, these types of dogs are not permitted on site at all. Other dogs must be on a six-feet or less leash and all animal waste must be cleaned up. Failure to follow these rules will result in the animal and the owner being immediately removed from site. Any animal that becomes aggressive on site will be removed from site along with its owner.

A designated smoking area will be clearly marked on site. Smoking will be allowed only in that area or in your personal vehicle. Smoking anywhere else on site is grounds to be asked to leave the event.

This site does not have cell service. There is a land line present for calling emergency services. Cell service picks back up at the main road.
