As you come through the valley you hear the unmistakable ring of steel on steel. A flash of silver catches your eye, and you start to move towards it, to render assistance or perhaps just to watch. As the trees part, you see armored figures striving in combat. Suddenly, one gets a lucky blow and the other falls to the ground. After a moment the victor helps the fallen fighter to his feet. They congratulate each other and remove their helms. To your surprise, you realize one of them is a woman.


Welcome to Puerto San Vladimir


In Puerto San Vladimir we welcome those who wish to learn the fighting styles, arts, and/or sciences of the Renaissance era. Our mission is to teach the history and lifestyle of Europe between 800 and 1650 AD. We are based in Reno, Nevada, but have been known to travel to Las Vegas, Dallas, and Portland. We meet on Tuesday evenings and have fighter practice on Saturday afternoons.

Formed in 2005 as a dominion of the Kingdom of Vega, Puerto San Vladimir is geographically located between the outlying territory of Terra Norte and the capital of the Kingdom of Vega.

Due to our locality between the two areas, we maintain close friendships with both groups.

Puerto San Vladimir is the Reno, Nevada chapter of the Empire of Chivalry and Steel, Kingdom of Vega. We have regular get-togethers and fighter practice on Tuesdays and Saturdays, please contact us at psv-ecs@wethreegraces.com for location.


The purpose of this non-profit educational corporation is to study and teach the general public the ideas and history from the year 800 AD to the year 1650 AD, specifically covering the geographical boundaries of Europe, and to provide an organized effort in the collection, interpretation and distribution of historical data thru publication and demonstration. -From the bylaws of the Imperium, Section II
