TheOneRing.net Community Member Dagorhir is having an event this weekend. Here are the details:
Event name: Dagorhir’s Ragnarok War
Event Type: World Event
Dates: June 17-23
Where: Spring Valley Campground, Cambridge, OH Site URL: www.dagorhir.com/ragnarok
Description: You’ve only read Tolkien. Dagorhir Battle Games lives it! Tolkien’s Middle Earth meets Dark Age Europe in this safe, action-packed national battle game. Dagorhir “Realms” from around the US all congregate for a national War every June in Ohio. This war is called Ragnarok, and it draws hundreds of Tolkien and medieval combat enthusiasts from all over the country.
Dagorhir weapons are padded, and minimum safety requirements are stringently enforced to ensure the safety of the participants. Minimum costume requirements are also enforced. Participants ages 16 and up may compete on battlefields across the country. The rules emphasize safety and playability, to keeping the game fast and fun. While Dagorhir is athletic, you don’t have to be an athlete to successfully compete. There is a niche for everyone. Dagorhir challenges the mind and body, and inspires the imagination. Dagorhir is a living, breathing, and growing celebration of Tolkien’s works.

There’s also a quote from the man himself here on how happy he is to become the third member in his family to receive the award. [More]
