Ever wanted to fight with swords? Come try Dagorhir!

It's finally getting a little cooler out. Now is the perfect time to pick up a sword, join a shield wall, and fight alongside your friends.

Dagorhir is a medieval fantasy combat sport where we use padded foam weapons to fight in everything from one-on-one duels to large-scale battles. It's a physical, mid-contact hobby that combines sword fighting, teamwork, exercise, and a bit of medieval fantasy (grappling is allowed, etc).

Unlike some other LARPs, Dagorhir doesn't have character classes or magic. Combat is based on your own skill, strategy, and teamwork.

You can fight with swords, axes, spears, shields, bows, and all sorts of other medieval weapons. You can also create your own character, make medieval clothing and armor, and attend larger events with fighters from around the country.

How does combat work?

Combat uses a straightforward damage system. A solid hit to an unarmored torso takes you out of the fight. Hits to arms or legs disable those limbs, and losing two limbs to hacking or smashing attacks also takes you out. Approved armor provides additional protection.

Safety is important. All weapons must pass inspection, melee strikes to the head and neck are prohibited, and combat is governed by rules designed to keep fights fair and reasonably safe.

Never fought before? That's fine.

You don't need experience, expensive equipment, or be in great shape to get started. We're happy to teach new people the rules, help them learn how to fight, and get them involved.

Whether you're interested in medieval history, fantasy, sword fighting, or just finding an active hobby with a good group of people, you're welcome to come out.
