In the early days, the weapons were crudely made of couch foam and Broomstick s; today, they are usually made from closed-cell foam bonded with adhesive around a Fiberglass core. Participants may also wear Armor , which gives them an advantage in battle, but armor is not required, as the weapons are built and frequently inspected for safety. Fighters are organized into units of various sizes, organized along social lines, that generally fight and socialize together and are a club or fraternity of sorts. There is friendly rivalry between units. Units typically adopt a particular historical or fantastical race or nationality and dress, act, and fight according to their interpretation of that group, so at a battle you might see Roman Legionnaires squared off against Orc s and Goblin s, Viking s, Samurai , Elves , and German Barbarians . Chapters are organized by geography, and range between a handful of participants to several hundred. Typically a chapter will organize a battle each month, with the varous units participating, with occasional supplementary activities such as Feast s, overnight camp-out battles, and even annual inter-chapter meetings. The biggest Dagorhir annual gathering is called Ragnarok and is usually held in Ohio during June. The original chapter, founded in 1977, is based in the Washington, D.C. area, and is known as "Dagorhir Aratari." EXTERNAL LINKS |
