Introduction

The name of the organization shall be “The Viadrina Outpost.”

The Viadrina Outpost is located in the Northlands (Canada) on the border to the Lands in the South (U.S.A.) We hold the North side of a key border crossing (Sumas / Abbotsford) and protect the trade routes, keeping them safe for travelers and merchants alike. For the purpose of recreation, we are situated on "The Amber Road" that connected the Far North (Norway) to Italy (Rome) where it meets "The Silk Road" and travels to onward to the Far East. We are located on the bank of the Viadua River, where our Outpost creates a "safe-haven" for travelers from all reaches of the Empire who seek riches and glory in foreign lands.

Our branch focuses on the recreation of medieval culture and combat. We embrace the tenants of feudalism, where the Lords/Ladies of the branch hold this land for the Crown, having complete authority over it as well as complete responsibility for it.

The heraldry for the branch shall be, "Vert, a tree blasted and eradicated Argent, a base engrailed Azure." (A white tree on a green background over "water") In our recreation culture "The World Tree" reaches from "The Realm of the Gods" to "The Underworld" below encompassing all the earth and it's cultures. The "Forest" (green field) shows our location on the "River" (blue base) both of which are integral to the survival of the Outpost. Our motto is "Stipes non fortior radices" or "A branch is not stronger than it's roots"
